Washington D.C. – April 20, 2010 – The Marine Corps Identity Bill, HR 24, has received 400 co-sponsors—92 percent of the House of Representatives.
Backed by the Marine Corps League, HR 24, introduced by North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones, proposes to change the name of the Department of the Navy to the “Department of the Navy and Marine Corps.” HR 24 is just seven votes shy of a 20-year record for most amount of co-sponsors on any House bill.
