AI Summary
This bill directs Congress to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 369th Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the "Harlem Hellfighters," in recognition of their bravery and outstanding service during World War I. The Harlem Hellfighters were one of the first African American regiments to serve with the American Expeditionary Forces during the war and spent the most time on the front lines of any American unit, suffering over 1,500 casualties while never losing a foot of ground or having a man taken prisoner. The bill also directs the Smithsonian Institution to display the medal and make it available for other events associated with the Harlem Hellfighters.
