  • Vietnam

Included is the first African-American to earn the Medal of Honor and the youngest Marine ever to receive the award.

A plaque listing donors will also be part of the display. A $1,000 donation toward the cost of this project will result in your organization being listed as a donor honoring those who were willing to go above and beyond the call of duty.
