This legislation aims to honor the women who served as nurses in the U.S. Army and Navy during World War II by awarding them a Congressional Gold Medal. This recognition acknowledges their bravery and significant contributions during a challenging time in history, particularly highlighting the sacrifices made by nurses from diverse backgrounds, including African-American and Asian-American women, who faced additional challenges in their service. Key provisions of the bill authorize the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the award of the gold medal.
