Nicholas Dockery Medal of Honor Act

This section grants the President the authority to award the Medal of Honor to Nicholas Dockery. Crucially, it waives any existing time limitations that would normally prevent such an award, specifically referencing section 7274 of title 10, United States Code. This ensures that the award can proceed despite the passage of time since the acts of valor occurred.

This subsection specifies the particular acts of valor for which Nicholas Dockery is to be considered for the Medal of Honor. It identifies these actions as occurring on October 2, 2012, while he was serving in Afghanistan as a member of the Army, and notes that he was previously awarded the Silver Star for these same actions. This provides the specific context and justification for the Medal of Honor consideration.
