To award a congressional gold medal on behalf of the Tuskegee Airmen, collectively, in recognition of their unique military record, which inspired revolutionary reform in the Armed Forces.

This bill, which was signed into law in 2006, authorized the awarding of a single Congressional Gold Medal to the Tuskegee Airmen as a group. The medal honors their distinguished service during World War II and their role in paving the way for the integration of the United States Armed Forces.

For the public, this legislation ensures that the medal is displayed at the Smithsonian Institution, with the intent that it also be exhibited at other historical sites associated with the Airmen. Additionally, the law allows the U.S. Mint to create and sell bronze duplicates of the medal, making these commemorative items available for purchase by citizens and collectors.
