The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a two-hour teleconference meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, to review candidate designs for the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the Ghost Army and to discuss their annual report for 2022.
The CCAC is tasked with advising the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to all United States coins and medals.
Specifically, key agenda topics stated for the meeting include:
- Review of the 2022 Annual Report,
- Review and discussion of candidate designs for the Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal,
- and other business.
Public Law 117-85, or the Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Act, awards the Congressional Gold Medal to the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops and the 3133d Signal Service Company — the "Ghost Army," in recognition of their distinguished service in conducting deception operations in Europe during World War II.

Good one.
In case you don’t know who this character is.
From coast-to-coast 😉
Sorry about that. I thought Casper was going to.
He’s missing a year.
The children here have posted cartoons on this legitimate site for months like its Saturday morning everyday for them. No one can learn about coins here any longer, but you can learn out how to out do each other with cartoons. Geesh, new collectors landing here on this page are in for a shock. But now to satirize the honorable soldier’s who fought for freedom is going to far. SHAME!
Apologies.
Well that’s a nifty insignia for the Ghost Army.
The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops insignia.
The 3133d Signal Service Company insignia.
So what’s the purpose of the Congressional Gold Medal?
How many members are still alive to receive such honor? Seems a LITTLE late to come up with a medal NOW.
In response
Thanks for the memories
Ask not what your country can do for you….wait a minute! We pay taxes!
It will be interesting to see what depiction will highlight this commemorative. Maybe the outfits designation 23rd Headquarters Special Troops? I have no idea what this units mascot was?
I meant to write insignia. As I have no idea what was ever depicted for this unit.
