AI Summary
This bill aims to award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the brave women who served in World War II as members of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps and U.S. Navy Nurse Corps. The bill highlights the significant contributions and sacrifices made by these nurses, who served under fire in field hospitals and evacuation hospitals across six continents, often facing dangerous conditions and enemy fire. The bill also acknowledges the challenges faced by African-American nurses, who were initially subjected to racial segregation and discrimination, but ultimately played a crucial role in the war effort. The bill authorizes the minting of a gold medal to honor these nurses and their legacy, and directs the Smithsonian Institution to display the medal in appropriate locations.
