Congress announced a new piece of legislation that would allow the four Marines and one sailor who died at the hands of a violent shooter to be awards Purple Hearts.

The military has Purple Hearts at the ready to award the five victims of the July 16 Chattanooga tragedy, but it cannot grant them due to eligibility restrictions. Until the FBI declares that the gunman, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, had ties to foreign terrorists, the U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway cannot be labeled a site of terrorism. If the five servicemen weren’t injured to killed by a terrorist at a terrorist site, they cannot be awarded any medals of valor.

U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann told the press that the new bill would circumvent the FBI and declare Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, Sgt. Carson A. Holmquist, Lance Cpl. Squire “Skip” Wells and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith eligible for Purple Hearts.

“The attack clearly meets the criteria for the award of the Purple Heart to members of the Armed Forces killed or wounded in the attack,” the bill said.

The bill received 63 co-sponsors in half a single work day.
