American Casualties by Groups & The Medal of Honor Webpage

Did You See Him?

I was too young to know him,
I was too young to understand.
Only now can I grasp the meaning,
Behind a solider fighting for his land.

He was gone before I was thought of,
Gone away before I was born.
But his memory lives with me,
His sacrifices and the medals he had worn.

I'm wondering if you knew him,
If perhaps, just maybe you were there.
Can you offer any memories,
That time seemed to tear?

I'm just wondering if perhaps,
Maybe you stood by his side.
Maybe, just maybe,
You were there the day he died.

My family remembers him,
Our Hero he will always be.
I'm simply searching for some memories,
To carry in the heart of me...

The Congressional Medal of Honor Society

In October, 1993 the living Medal of Honor recipients gathered for their bi-annual (now held annually) reunion, this year held in Charleston, South Carolina. Among the activities of the week was the dedication of a new museum. Located aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown, the Medal of Honor Museum's exterior walls feature the names of all Medal of Honor recipients. Inside the museum itself are numerous exhibits, some dedicated to periods in Medal of Honor history, others to individual heroes. A memorial is also maintained to the most recently departed Medal recipient.

The Museum is maintained and operated by the dedicated staff of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, which is headquartered there. We encourage all visitors to the Charleston area to take the time to visit Patriots Point to tour the Yorktown as well as the Medal of Honor museum.
