The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation will break ground on the Arlington museum on Friday morning.
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation broke ground on the Arlington museum Friday morning.
"We will soon have this Medal of Honor Museum deep in the heart of Texas," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley said."By shining a spotlight on the Medal of Honor, recipient that received it, the values they lived for, and in many cases died for; visitors will come to understand the meaning and price of freedom."
The one-of-a-kind museum is in recognition of the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for valor in combat beyond the call of duty. "When you look at the Medal of Honor recipient, you are looking at someone who has demonstrated gallantry under impossible odds, you are looking at someone who has placed duty above self, you are looking at someone who understands the meaning of sacrifice in the most profound way," former President George W. Bush said at the groundbreaking ceremony."During these turbulent times people ask me, am I worried, and my answer is no.
