WWII Nurses Congressional Gold Medal Act
The bill ceremonially honors World War II Army and Navy nurses and expands public access to a commemorative medal while largely offsetting costs via sales, at the trade-off of modest taxpayer or Mint fund impacts and limited substantive policy change.
Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds Congressional Gold Medal Act

Corporal Fernando Ruiz Baltazar Posthumous Citizenship Act of 2025

American Patriots of WWII through Service with the Canadian and British Armed Forces Gold Medal Act of 2025

Doris Miller Congressional Gold Medal Act
The bill formally honors Doris Miller and authorizes the Mint to produce and sell cost‑recovery replicas—preserving taxpayer funds and enabling public access—while creating administrative responsibilities and financial risk to the Mint’s fund that could indirectly affect taxpayers or limit broader commemorative revenue.
To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller posthumously for acts of valor while a member of the Navy during World War II.
The bill corrects a historical racial oversight by awarding Doris Miller the Medal of Honor and provides symbolic closure and precedent for reassessing past awards, while creating modest costs and a precedent that could trigger additional retroactive award requests and administrative burdens.
761st Tank Battalion Congressional Gold Medal Act

North Platte Canteen Congressional Gold Medal Act
The bill honors and preserves the North Platte Canteen’s WWII legacy and lets the public buy cost‑recovering duplicates, but it shifts costs and authority into the Mint’s fund and federal processes—trading modest fiscal and oversight implications for symbolic and educational recognition.

The bill encourages teaching and public recognition of September 11—supporting civic memory and honoring responders—but relies on voluntary guidance without funding, so benefits may be limited and could displace other classroom content if resources aren't provided.
Supporting the designation of Guam War Survivors Remembrance Day.
