Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal to honor Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, a U.S. Army soldier who saved approximately 200 Jewish-American soldiers during WWII by refusing Nazi orders to separate them. It directs the Treasury Secretary to design and strike the medal, which will be presented posthumously to Edmonds' family (specifically to Christopher Waring Edmonds). The bill also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to the public to offset costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. This is a commemorative measure with no direct policy impact on current laws or regulations.
