HR 10436 United States House · 118th Congress

Escuadrón 201 Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill authorizes a single Congressional Gold Medal to honor the members of Escuadrón 201 (the "Aztec Eagles"), a Mexican air squadron that fought alongside U.S. forces in the Pacific during WWII. The medal, to be struck by the Treasury and displayed at the Smithsonian, commemorates their 795 combat sorties, 2,000 combat flight hours, and seven pilot fatalities while supporting U.S. and Philippine ground forces. The bill is purely commemorative, with no policy changes or direct effects on current legislation or constituents. It recognizes historical military collaboration between Mexico and the U.S. during World War II.
