MACV–SOG Congressional Gold Medal Act

This provision mandates that the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate arrange for the presentation of a single Congressional Gold Medal. This medal is to be awarded to the service members of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam-Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) to recognize their bravery and exceptional service in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia during the Vietnam War.

This set of provisions outlines the practical steps for the medal. It instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal. After its presentation, the gold medal will be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research, with a recommendation for broader display at MACV-SOG-related events. The Secretary is also authorized to strike and sell bronze duplicates to cover production costs, with these medals designated as national and numismatic items. Funding for the medals is authorized to be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and proceeds from duplicate sales will be deposited back into this fund.
