The October 7 Gold Medal Act proposes to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the American hostages and victims of the October 7th, 2023 attacks, acknowledging their profound suffering and sacrifice. The bill includes findings detailing the brutal Hamas attacks, the killing of Americans, and the abduction of American citizens who endured unspeakable conditions in captivity. It emphasizes the bravery of these individuals, the fallen, and their families, recognizing their resilience in the face of terrorism. The Secretary of the Treasury is tasked with designing and striking the gold medal, which will be presented by the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate. After its award, the medal is designated for display and research at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Additionally, the Secretary may strike and sell bronze duplicates, with the costs for all medals covered by the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund and proceeds from duplicate sales returning to the fund.
