H.R. 3830
H.R. 3830 authorizes Congress to award a single Congressional Gold Medal to all Americans who voluntarily served in the Canadian and British Armed Forces during World War II, recognizing their contributions to the Allied war effort. The bill honors approximately 12,000 American citizens who crossed into Canada to enlist before the United States entered the war, as well as those who served in associated organizations like the Royal Canadian Air Force, RAF Eagle Squadrons, and the Air Transport Auxiliary. After the medal is awarded, it will be housed at the Smithsonian Institution for public display and research, with the option to create and sell duplicate bronze medals to cover production costs. The bill does not specify a timeline or direct funding allocation, as it primarily authorizes the Treasury Department to design and strike the medal with costs covered through duplicate medal sales.
