Explore the Medal of Honor Wall

Learn about the 464 recipients of our nation's highest military honor.

Description

The Medal of Honor exhibit features the all 464 Medal of Honor recipients and gives visitors the opportunity to see the faces of these brave men, read about their actions and even search for recipients by state, service branch, or theater of operation.

A multi-story wall opposite the interactive kiosk displays printed photographs of each veteran. The interactive mimics the wall display and helps visitors locate veterans within the large, complex grid.

A custom CMS backend allows museum staff to easily create and modify veteran records.

    Multiple exhibits and 12 interactive experiences paint the picture of a nation mobilized for war – those who answered the call of service and those who supported the American fighting forces by producing planes, ships, tanks, and other combat supplies in American factories and shipyards.
