Doris Miller Congressional Gold Medal Act

HR 2336, the Doris Miller Congressional Gold Medal Act, authorizes the posthumous award of a gold medal to honor Doris Miller, an African-American sailor who displayed extraordinary courage during the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. The medal, designed by the Treasury Secretary, will be presented by Congress and then given to the Smithsonian Institution for public display, with a provision for selling bronze duplicates to cover costs. This bill does not create new laws or policies but formally commemorates Miller's heroism, including his actions saving lives under fire and his later Navy Cross award. It directly honors Miller's legacy without affecting any current individuals or programs.
