Chief Nimham Purple Heart Act

This bill authorizes the posthumous award of the Purple Heart to Daniel Nimham for injuries he sustained during the Revolutionary War. Serving as a Commissioned Captain in the Continental Army, Nimham's recognition is specifically enabled by this legislation. The bill grants the President the authority to bestow this honor, explicitly allowing it notwithstanding the standard criteria established in Executive Order 11016. This special authorization ensures that Daniel Nimham can receive the Purple Heart despite any existing regulations that might otherwise preclude such an award.
