Dustoff Crews of the Vietnam War Congressional Gold Medal Act

Sponsored By: Senator Cornyn, John [R-TX]

Became Law

Summary

This law awards a single Congressional Gold Medal honoring Dustoff helicopter air ambulance crews of the Vietnam War for their extraordinary heroism and lifesaving evacuations. It recognizes pilots, crew chiefs, and medics who conducted aeromedical evacuations in Southeast Asia from May 1962 through March 1973, notes the scale of their operations and combat risk, and directs the Treasury, in consultation with the Defense Department, to strike the medal. The medal will go to the U.S. Army Medical Department Museum for display and research, and the Mint may sell bronze duplicates to recover costs.
