senate 02/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to honor the First Rhode Island Regiment with a Congressional Gold Medal for their remarkable service and bravery during the Revolutionary War. This legislation aims to recognize their historic contributions, as one of the first racially integrated military units in American history, and to preserve their legacy by displaying the medal at the Rhode Island State Library.
