North Platte Canteen Congressional Gold Medal Act
This bill authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal to honor the volunteers and donors who supported the North Platte Canteen during World War II. It directs the Treasury Secretary to strike a gold medal commemorating the approximately 55,000 individuals (mostly women) from Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas who provided food, hospitality, and donations to over 6 million troops between 1941 and 1946. The medal will be presented to the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska, for public display and research. The bill is purely commemorative and does not create new programs or obligations.
