Bill > HR7501

This bill, the Save our Allies Congressional Gold Medal Act, would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Chad Robichaux, Sarah Verardo, Tim Kennedy, Kevin Rourke, Sean Gabler, Dave Johnson, and Dennis Price in recognition of their exceptional efforts and selfless dedication during the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021, which led to the safe evacuation of over 17,000 people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The bill provides details on the team's heroic actions, including their determination to rescue their Afghan interpreter, their non-stop rescue operations at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and their continued humanitarian efforts after the evacuation. The bill authorizes the minting of the gold medal and the production of bronze duplicate medals, which would be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display.
