Bill > HR7175

This bill, titled the "Frank Siller Congressional Gold Medal Act," authorizes the presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal to Frank Siller. This prestigious award is in recognition of his significant contributions, including memorializing those who died in the September 11th attacks, supporting their families, and advocating for those who serve the country. The bill highlights that Frank Siller founded the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in honor of his brother, firefighter Stephen Siller, who died on 9/11. The foundation has since provided substantial aid, such as paying off mortgages for families of fallen first responders and Gold Star families, building homes for injured veterans, and assisting homeless veterans. The bill also acknowledges Siller's "Never Forget Walk" in 2021, a 255-mile journey commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The Secretary of the Treasury is tasked with designing and striking the gold medal, and is also permitted to strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to cover production costs, with proceeds going to the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
