Medal of Honor Burials and Marking of Gravesites

The Foundation has supported the reinterment of several Medal of Honor recipients at Arlington Cemetery and the placement of Medal of Honor markers on many gravesites that did not have a Medal of Honor marker. 

Shown below is the reinterment ceremony at Arlington Cemetery for Korean War posthumous recipient Cornelius Charlton and the gravesite marker for Civil War Medal of Honor recipient John Galloway. Previously, there was no Medal of Honor marker at his gravesite.

May they all rest in peace with the appropriate dignity, honor and the respect of the American public for their heroic deeds and sacrifices on our behalf.
