First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act

The First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act would authorize Congress to present a single Congressional Gold Medal to the First Rhode Island Regiment as a collective honor. This medal would recognize the regiment's dedicated service and contributions during the American Revolutionary War. Congressional Gold Medals are among the highest civilian honors that Congress can bestow, typically awarded to individuals or groups for outstanding achievements or service to the nation. If enacted, this bill would result in the creation and presentation of this medal to commemorate the historical significance of the First Rhode Island Regiment's military service. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in February 2025 and referred to committee for consideration.
