Program accomplishments

  • The Medal of Honor Museum: Located on the hangar deck of the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Medal of Honor Museum serves as the home of the Medal of Honor, preserving the legacy of the Recipients who wear it and the values it represents: courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism. The museum chronicles the history of the Medal of Honor from the Civil War through the Global War on Terrorism. Designed to be both educational and memorable, the exhibits invite visitors to experience history in a way that is thought-provoking and inspiring. Through these stories, it is our hope that guests gain a renewed respect for the valor of those who have answered the call to defend our nation's freedom, and that they leave inspired by the extraordinary individuals who went "above and beyond the call of duty." Exhibits feature memorabilia and artifacts relating to Medal of Honor Recipients. In addition to permanent displays, rotating and interactive exhibits highlight related themes and areas of interest, ensuring that each visit offers a new perspective on service and sacrifice.
