Summary

This bill awards a single Congressional Gold Medal to the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion as a group, honoring their heroism and life-saving actions during the D-Day invasion and their contributions to the Allied victory in World War II.

Sec. 3, Congressional Gold Medal: The Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate arrange for the presentation of one gold medal to the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, designs and strikes the medal. After the award, the medal goes to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research, and Congress suggests it be displayed at locations tied to D-Day, World War II, and African-American servicemembers.

Sec. 4, Duplicate medals: The Secretary may strike and sell bronze copies of the gold medal at a price covering production costs.

Sec. 5, Status of medals: The medals are national medals under U.S. law and are considered numismatic items.

Sec. 6, Authority to use fund amounts; proceeds of sale: Costs for the medals may be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. Money from selling duplicate bronze medals goes into that fund.
