320th Barrage Balloon Battalion Gold Medal Act
This bill authorizes a single gold medal to honor the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, an all-African American unit that served during the D-Day invasion in World War II. The medal commemorates their unique role as the only African American combat unit to land in Normandy, their deployment of barrage balloons to protect troops from air attacks, and their contributions to the Allied victory. The gold medal, to be struck by the Treasury and displayed at the Smithsonian Institution (including locations like the National Museum of African American History and Culture), will be made available for public display and research. This is a commemorative measure with no policy changes or direct impact on current laws or citizens.
