Medal of Honor Day

National Medal of Honor Day offers an opportunity to reflect on the stories behind the Medal, explore the legacy of its Recipients, and deepen our understanding of the cost of freedom. Through the Medal of Honor Museum aboard the USS Yorktown, visitors can learn about more than 3,500 heroic individuals who displayed extraordinary courage. 

In honor of National Medal of Honor Day, Patriots Point and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society will host Medal of Honor March—a month-long tribute to recipients of the nation’s highest award for valor in combat.

Throughout March, visitors can explore the Medal of Honor Museum aboard the USS Yorktown, participate in a Medal of Honor scavenger hunt, write letters or draw pictures for recipients (to be shared at the Society’s annual convention), view a commemorative wreath display, and experience two new interactive exhibits.

• March 25 | 10 AM to 1 PM 

On Medal of Honor Day, Medal of Honor experts will be on site to share insights into the history and significance of the Medal.
