This bill seeks to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal , collectively, to James J. Andrews and William H. Campbell. This recognition honors their extraordinary bravery and steadfast devotion to the Nation during the Civil War, specifically for their roles as the only civilian members of Andrews' Raiders , who executed the daring military raid known as the "Great Locomotive Chase." The legislation highlights their critical involvement in this Union Army operation to disrupt Confederate supply lines in 1862, which ultimately led to their capture and execution. Following its presentation by the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, the gold medal will be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research. Congress expresses its desire for the medal to be particularly available for display at the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Museum and for loan to other institutions. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to the public, with the proceeds from these sales supporting the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
