AI Summary
This bill aims to award a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal to Welles Remy Crowther, a heroic individual who saved multiple lives during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The bill provides a detailed account of Crowther's heroic actions that day, highlighting how he helped rescue survivors from the 78th floor Sky Lobby of the South Tower while wearing his signature red bandanna, repeatedly returning to help others despite the extreme danger. The legislation authorizes the Speaker of the House and the Senate President pro tempore to present a gold medal to Crowther's mother, Alison Crowther, in recognition of his extraordinary bravery and sacrifice. The Secretary of the Treasury will be responsible for designing and striking the medal, which will feature an image and inscription of Welles Remy Crowther. Additionally, the bill allows for the production and sale of duplicate bronze medals to cover the costs of production, with proceeds to be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The Congressional Gold Medal is a high civilian honor, and this bill seeks to commemorate Crowther as an embodiment of heroism and selflessness during one of the most tragic moments in American history.
