Evidence
The Clerk lists H.R. 4366 as making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies; status passed 219-211; Moore (AL) voted Yea.
Congress.gov says H.R. 4366 became Public Law 118-42 and included the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, with appropriations for VA and DOD family housing.
The Clerk records H.R. 5009 as passed 281-140 on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment; Moore (AL) voted Yea.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 5009 as Public Law 118-159 and summarizes that it authorizes FY2025 DOD programs, military construction, and includes a pilot with live-fire training for National Guard and Army Reserve infantry units.
The Clerk lists H.R. 1669 as the VET-TEC Authorization Act; status passed 409-9; Moore (AL) voted Yea.
Congress.gov says H.R. 1669 passed the House and was referred to Senate Veterans' Affairs; it would continue VA high-technology education programs for up to 6,000 covered individuals per year through FY2028.
Assessments
Moore made concrete same-term federal actions toward the promise by voting for FY2024 Military Construction-VA appropriations and the FY2025 NDAA, which became law and included VA, military construction, servicemember quality-of-life, military-family, and training-related defense provisions. He also voted for the VET-TEC Authorization Act to extend veterans technology education and training, but that bill passed only the House and did not become law in the 118th Congress. Because major VA and military-family funding pieces were enacted but the veterans training component was only advanced, the promise is best judged as partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
