First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act

HR 2752 authorizes Congress to award a commemorative gold medal to honor the First Rhode Island Regiment, a Revolutionary War unit historically notable for being one of the first integrated military units in U.S. history, including men of African and Indigenous descent who were granted freedom upon enlistment. The medal, designed by the Treasury Secretary, will be displayed at the Rhode Island State Library, with Congress encouraging broader public access to locations tied to the regiment. The bill also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to cover costs, with proceeds deposited into the U.S. Mint fund. This is a ceremonial resolution recognizing the regiment's service during the Revolutionary War, not a policy change affecting current legislation or constituents.
