Plain-English Summary

This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the nation's highest civilian honors, to Welles Remy Crowther, a man who died helping others escape the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 attacks. The medal recognizes exceptional bravery and service to the country, and awarding it to Crowther honors his heroic actions and sacrifice. This is a ceremonial measure that does not affect laws or government operations, but rather commemorates an individual's extraordinary courage.
