Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Act

This law awards the Congressional Gold Medal to the "Ghost Army," a top-secret World War II unit that used inflatable tanks, sound effects, and fake radio signals to deceive enemy forces. By misleading the Axis powers about the location and strength of Allied troops, these soldiers are credited with saving thousands of lives during major campaigns in Europe. The act ensures their long-classified contributions are publicly honored through a permanent display at the Smithsonian and allows citizens to purchase duplicate bronze medals from the U.S. Mint.
