Donut Dollies Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill, titled the "Donut Dollies Congressional Gold Medal Act," seeks to honor members of the Red Cross Supplemental Recreational Activities Overseas (SRAO) program , affectionately known as the "Donut Dollies," by awarding them a Congressional Gold Medal. These dedicated women volunteered to provide crucial recreational and morale support to U.S. servicemembers on the frontlines during the Vietnam conflict. Their service involved extensive travel and exposure to dangerous conditions, with some sustaining injuries or losing their lives, underscoring their extraordinary commitment to maintaining troop morale. The legislation mandates that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate arrange for the medal's presentation, with the Secretary of the Treasury responsible for its design and striking. Following its award, the gold medal will be entrusted to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research, with Congress encouraging its display at other relevant locations associated with the "Donut Dollies." Furthermore, the bill authorizes the striking and sale of duplicate bronze medals to the public, with proceeds supporting the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
