    How should we decide which historical military units deserve Congressional Gold Medals, and what makes the First Rhode Island Regiment's service distinctive enough to meet that standard?

  2. 02

    What does awarding a collective medal to a regiment accomplish that individual recognition or existing historical monuments do not?

  3. 03

    Should Congress establish criteria for these commemorative medals, or is each historical unit better evaluated on its own merits?
