Many bills have been introduced to the legislative powers, seeking to bestow the Congressional Gold Medal to the Army Rangers who participated in World War II. Sen. Joni Ernst and Sen. Tammy Duckworth are cosponsoring a bill supported by an army veteran, D-Illinois, to award the group with both the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ernst often expresses his gratitude toward those who served throughout conflicts and has backed related bills in the past. Current and retired Rangers have commented that they believe awarding the medals would serve as an inspiration for soldiers.
