The Congressional Gold Medal is the most distinguished
award bestowed by the United States Congress. It is the
nation's top civilian award presented to those individuals
that embody the best quality in America's heritage.
Before it can be awarded, legislation must be approved
by Congress and signed into law by the President.
Congress first awarded the Congressional Gold Medal
to George Washington in 1776.
