This bill officially designates the major annual event in Washington, D.C., as the "National Memorial Day Parade" to honor America's fallen heroes.

Furthermore, the legislation authorizes the Secretary of Defense to provide appropriate support, including military participation, for the event.

The Apprenticeship Infrastructure Tax Credit Act of 2025 establishes a new federal tax credit for employers who hire and train W-2 employees in registered apprenticeship programs focused on infrastructure-related occupations. Employers can claim a credit of \$3,000 or \$6,000 per eligible apprentice for up to two years, provided the program requires substantial on-the-job training hours. This incentive is subject to an overall spending cap of \$5 billion in claimed credits.
