SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) On September 11, 2012, the United States 
consulate, and its personnel in Benghazi, Libya, 
were attacked by militants. 
(2) Four Americans were killed in the attack, 
including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean 
Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods. 
(3) Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were 
former Navy SEALs who served as security per-
sonnel in Libya. As the attack unfolded, they bravely 
attempted to defend American property and protect 
United States diplomatic personnel. In so doing, 
they selflessly sacrificed their own lives. 
(4) Glen Doherty was a Navy SEAL for 12 
years and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He at-
tained the rank of Petty Officer First Class and 
earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation 
Medal. After leaving the Navy, Glen Doherty worked 
with the Department of State to protect American 
diplomats. 
(5) Tyrone Woods served for 20 years as a 
Navy SEAL including tours in Iraq and Afghani-
stan. In Iraq he led multiple raids and reconnais-
sance missions and earned the Bronze Star. After 
retiring from the Navy as a Senior Chief Petty Offi-
cer, Tyrone Woods worked with the Department of 
State to protect American diplomats. 
(6) J. Christopher Stevens served for 21 years 
in the U.S. Foreign Service. He was serving as U.S. 
Ambassador to Libya and previously served twice in 
the country, as both Special Representative to the 
Libyan Transitional National Council and as the 
Deputy Chief of Mission. Earlier in his life, he also 
served as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English 
in Morocco. 
(7) Sean Smith served for 6 years in the U.S. 
Air Force. He attained the rank of Staff Sergeant 
and was awarded the Air Force Commendation 
Medal. After leaving the Air Force, Sean Smith 
served for 10 years in the State Department on var-
ious assignments, which took him to places such as 
Baghdad, Brussels, Pretoria, and The Hague. 
(8) As their careers attest, all four men served 
their country honorably.

House of Representatives and the President pro tempore 
of the Senate shall make appropriate arrangements for the

gold medal under subsection (a), the gold medal

ticularly at other appropriate locations associated

Stevens, and Sean Smith.

scribe, the Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in

sufficient to cover the costs of the medals, including labor, 
materials, dies, use of machinery, and overhead expenses, 
and the cost of the gold medal.
