MI SR0129

Urges the U.S. Department of Defense to establish a policy for reviewing names of military installations and ships every 20 years.

Proposes that names can be changed as necessary during these periodic reviews to ensure they reflect appropriate honorees.

Identifies over 400 military installations and more than 490 ships currently named after individuals who serve as inspirations to military personnel.

Acknowledges that public perception of individuals' achievements can evolve over time, making names that were once appropriate potentially unsuitable in the future.

Aims to provide the military flexibility to regularly honor worthy people while ensuring installations and ships bear names of the most appropriate individuals.
