This bill, titled the "First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act," seeks to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the First Rhode Island Regiment for their distinguished service during the Revolutionary War. Congress finds that this regiment was among the first units in American history to recruit men of every race and ethnicity, including those of African heritage and Indigenous descent, following a unique legislative act by the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1778. These soldiers played a crucial role, notably acting heroically at the Battle of Rhode Island in 1778 and continuing to fight for American independence for five more years. The Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate are directed to arrange for the award of this single gold medal, with the Secretary of the Treasury responsible for its design and striking. Following its award, the medal will be given to the Rhode Island State Library for display and research, with a sense of Congress encouraging its display at other relevant historical locations. Additionally, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to the public, with proceeds deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
