Bill overview
This bill proposes to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the women who served as Army and Navy Nurses during World War II. Recognizing their critical role in providing medical care to soldiers and sailors, the bill highlights the nurses’ bravery, dedication, and sacrifices, including their service in dangerous combat zones and internment camps. The bill also acknowledges the historical challenges faced by Black nurses during the war due to racial segregation and discrimination, and seeks to provide belated official recognition for their extraordinary efforts.
