SUPPORT s.2195 - THE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL FOR WWii NURSES
|

We are asking for everyone's support for S.2195 which was submitted by Senator Tammy Baldwin (WI-D) on June 25, 2025 and co-sponsored by Senator Steve Daines (MT-R). It will need 67 senators to co-sponsor it in order to be introduced on the Senate Floor. Your help is crucial in passing this bill that will finally give the Congressional Gold Medal to the World War II Nurses who sacrificed so much for our soldiers and our freedom.
This honor has long been overdue and must be bestowed upon nurses whose dedication and selflessness saved thousands of soldiers. They served at the home front and abroad where many of them risked their lives while working in makeshift hospitals near the front lines. They healed the injured and the sick amidst the direst conditions without any regard for their own safety or well-being. They provided solace and comfort to those who died far away from their loved ones. Some of them even became prisoners of war and endured years of hardship and despair.
Majority of the nurses have passed on without being honored for their sacrifices for our country. It is time to honor their memory and their legacy. Please write to your senators and ask them to sponsor bipartisan Bill S-2195. If you represent an organization, please send your letter to Senator Tammy Baldwin's office.
