Congress would honor North Platte Canteen volunteers with gold medal

Congressional leaders would arrange the presentation of one gold medal honoring the canteen’s volunteers and donors. The honor would cover individuals and communities who volunteered or donated items to the North Platte Canteen in Nebraska during World War II. The Treasury secretary would make the medal and choose its design. The museum would make the medal available for display as appropriate and for research. After the award, the medal would go to the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska.

The Treasury secretary could make and sell bronze copies of the gold medal. These rules would cover copies of the North Platte Canteen medal. The sale price would have to cover all costs of making the bronze copies. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund could pay medal-making costs, and bronze-copy sales revenue would return to that fund.
