AI Summary
This bill authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Master Sergeant Rodrick "Roddie" Edmonds in recognition of his heroic actions during World War II. Edmonds was a U.S. Army soldier who refused to identify the Jewish soldiers under his command when ordered to do so by Nazi forces, saving the lives of approximately 200 Jewish-American service members. The bill details Edmonds' bravery in the face of threats and his actions that set an example of resistance against the Nazis. It also directs the Secretary of the Treasury to strike the gold medal and make it available to Edmonds' next of kin.
