North Platte Canteen Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to honor the volunteers and communities who supported the North Platte Canteen during World War II. It directs the U.S. Mint to create a gold medal commemorating the approximately 55,000 volunteers (mostly women) from Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas who served over 6 million troops from 1941 to 1946. The medal will be displayed at the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska, and bronze duplicates may be sold to cover minting costs. The bill is purely commemorative, with no policy changes or direct effects on current laws or programs.
