Posthumous Congressional Gold Medal for Frank Wills

The Issue

Frank Wills, a 24 year old security guard at the Watergate Complex, discovered a break in that led to the Watergate scandal, and ultimately the resignation of U. S. President Richard Nixon.

He was never formally recognized, and suffered many adverse circumstances as a result of the publicity he received. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 52 without receiving his due recognition. Without his dedication and attention to duty, the break in would have gone unpunished.

It's time for this nation to proclaim our debt to a man overlooked for far too long, and hopefully compensate any remaining family members that he has. 

In light of the Congressional Gold Medal that another courageous man, Officer Eugene Goodman, will receive soon, let's give Frank Wills his due reward for his actions that forever changed the course of the United States of America.
