Congressman John Katko has co-sponsored a bill that would posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to the 13 soldiers killed in Kabul during a terrorist attack.
The attack happened outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan last week.
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest expression of national appreciation given for remarkable contributions and achievements to individuals or institutions.
