What it does
The bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, a segregated African-American unit that played a critical role in the D-Day invasion by deploying barrage balloons to protect Allied forces from enemy aircraft. The medal would be presented by the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, designed by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, and then given to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research. The bill also authorizes the sale of bronze duplicate medals, with proceeds deposited into the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover costs.
