Buffalo Soldiers Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2025

This section authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to make arrangements for the award of a Congressional Gold Medal. The medal is to be awarded collectively to the Buffalo Soldier regiments, which were authorized by Congress in 1866 to serve in the United States Armed Forces, in recognition of their superior, dedicated, and vital service to the nation.

This provision directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions. Following its award, the gold medal will be given to the National Museum of African American History and Culture of the Smithsonian Institution. It is intended for display and research, with a sense of Congress that the Smithsonian should also make the medal available for display at other locations and events associated with the Buffalo Soldiers.
