U.S. Representatives Emanuel Cleaver (Mo.) and Doug Lamborn (Colo.) introduced the bill in the House. Blunt and U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (Mo.) introduced similar legislation in the U.S. Senate earlier this year.  \u00a0  \u201cI\u2019m pleased the House passed this important bill, which gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to the more than four million World War I American veterans for the tremendous sacrifices they made to serve our country and defend the freedoms we enjoy today,\u201d said Blunt. \u201cIt is my hope that this bipartisan legislation will move forward in the Senate so that we can encourage future generations to recognize the selfless contribution of these brave American heroes and the impact this unprecedented war had on the history of our nation.\u201d  Missouri is home to the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Mo., which is the only museum in the country solely dedicated to telling the story of World War I and the global events that took place between 1914 and 1918.\r\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://www.blunt.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news?ContentRecord_id=e70e19fe-32ed-46f4-85d3-cd657dc7c9c6"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4419788494706154, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
