320th Barrage Balloon Battalion Gold Medal Act

This provision authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to present a single Congressional Gold Medal to the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion. This award is intended to recognize their extraordinary heroism and bravery during the D-Day invasion and their significant contributions to the success of the Allied forces during World War II.

This provision directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense. Following its presentation, the medal will be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research. Congress also expresses a sense that the Smithsonian should make the medal available for display at other relevant locations, such as those associated with D-Day, World War II, and African-American servicemembers, to ensure broader public access and education.

This section authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the gold medal at a price sufficient to cover production costs. It clarifies that these medals are national medals and numismatic items. The bill also specifies that funds for striking the medals can be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and proceeds from the sale of bronze duplicates will be deposited back into this fund.
