MidHudson News: National Purple Heart Honor Mission commemorative coin passes Senate
WASHINGTON – The US Senate has passed the National Purple Heart Honor Mission Commemorative Coin Act, which will see a coin honoring Purple Heart recipients. The House previously passed the measure, sponsored by area Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (D, NY-18). The coins will be struck at the US Mint at West Point, but that will not happen overnight. The act must first be signed into law by the president and then the coin must be designed.
