Key Points

Congress would award one Congressional Gold Medal to honor MACV-SOG service members for Vietnam War missions in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
The medal would be presented by House and Senate leaders on behalf of Congress, recognizing bravery and service that was long kept secret.
After the ceremony, the gold medal would be placed with the Smithsonian for public display and research, with encouragement to loan it for related events.
The Treasury Department would design and make the medal, and could sell bronze copies to the public to cover production costs.
This is mainly a recognition measure; it does not change veterans’ benefits or create new programs in the text provided.
