Summary

This Senate Joint Resolution honors the memory of Ensign Henry Clay Drexler, Sussex County’s only recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and his brother, Commander Louis A. Drexler, Jr., a fallen hero of World War II. It further respectfully requests that the members of Delaware’s Congressional Delegation take such steps as may be necessary to have Ensign Drexler jointly accredited to the States of Pennsylvania and Delaware as a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, rather than solely accredited to Pennsylvania, the state of his birth.
