Congressman Jimmy Duncan seeks Congressional Gold Medal for Pat Summitt
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WATE) – Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. (R-Tenn.) introduced legislation Thursday to award Lady Vols Head Coach Emeritus Pat Summitt the Congressional Gold Medal.
The U.S. Congress calls the medal “its highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions.”
Duncan says the measure would bestow the medal to Summitt in recognition of her unparalleled career in sports and for her courage in speaking out about her battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
