Plain-English Summary

This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the nation's highest civilian honors, to members of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group), a special operations unit that conducted classified missions during the Vietnam War. The medal recognizes the extraordinary heroism and sacrifice of these soldiers who served in dangerous, covert operations that were largely unknown to the public for decades. Veterans and their families would receive official acknowledgment of their service through this prestigious award.
