Summary of Bill HR 3642
Bill 117 HR 3642, also known as the Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the 369th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Harlem Hellfighters, for their outstanding service during World War I. The Harlem Hellfighters were an African American unit that served with distinction in the war, despite facing discrimination and segregation within the military.
The bill recognizes the bravery and sacrifice of the Harlem Hellfighters, who fought valiantly on the front lines in Europe and earned a reputation as one of the most decorated units in the war. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest civilian honors that can be awarded by the United States Congress, and is typically reserved for individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to American society.
If passed, the Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act would honor the legacy of the 369th Infantry Regiment and bring attention to the often overlooked contributions of African American soldiers in World War I. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a way to pay tribute to the bravery and patriotism of the Harlem Hellfighters.
