Vietnam War special forces would get a Congressional Gold Medal for their bravery and service.
This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to the service members of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam-Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) for their bravery and outstanding service during the Vietnam War. This recognition would honor their previously unacknowledged covert operations. The medal would later be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution for the public to see.
Today, the service members of MACV-SOG have received a Presidential Unit Citation but have not been collectively awarded a Congressional Gold Medal for their service during the Vietnam War. If this bill passes, they would receive a single Congressional Gold Medal, which would then be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution, and the public could buy bronze duplicates.
