Sarah Adams @sarahadams - Yes, you read that correctly. The Congressional Gold Medals for our fallen in Benghazi from 2012 were finally approved in December 2022, and the U.S. Mint, under the U.S. Treasury, still has NOT even minted them so they can be given to the families. This is how our fallen are still treated.

The families of the four Americans killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack are STILL waiting for the Congressional Gold Medal that was authorized over 3 years ago.
H.R. 310 became law in Dec 2022 — yet there’s been no public update on the medal’s design, minting, or presentation.
If you believe these heroes deserve timely recognition, please contact your Senators and Representative and urge them to find out where the medal stands — and to push for its completion and presentation.

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Last Name],
I am writing to request your assistance regarding the status of the Congressional Gold Medal authorized under H.R. 310 (117th Congress) to honor Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Sean Smith—four Americans who lost their lives in the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi.
Although this legislation was signed into law on December 21, 2022, there has been no public update on the medal’s design, approval, minting, or presentation. More than three years have now passed since enactment, and the families of the fallen—as well as the American public—deserve clarity on the progress of this long-overdue recognition.
