H.R. 5044 · 116th Congress
World War II Pacific War Heroes Congressional Gold Medal Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
17 cosponsors · 10 D, 7 R

This bill directs Congress to make arrangements for the presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of the service of the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and Merchant Marine, as well as the citizen and noncitizen civilians who fought with the U.S.
