Unfortunately, the memories of the sacrifices made by past generations of POWs too often fade with time. I’m proud to introduce this legislation to honor the over 27,000 Americans held as prisoners of war and the 11,000 who died in Japanese POW camps. It’s been a long time coming, but this is the recognition they deserve.” The Congressional Gold Medal is awarded to individuals and groups to recognize their contributions to the United States.
