Summary

This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal after death to Lance Corporal Dustin Sekula, a Marine from Edinburg, Texas, who died in Iraq in 2004 at age 18. Congressional leaders would arrange to present the medal to his family. The Secretary of the Treasury would design and strike the gold medal and could sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost. Medal costs would be paid from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and money from sales of bronze copies would go back into that fund.
