Medal of Honor Kiosks

In March 2007, the Foundation provided the first prototype Medal of Honor kiosk to the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The kiosk contains a complete Medal of Honor database selectable by name, service or war and an educational quiz. It has received widespread use. A second prototype with living history videos was installed in May 2009. It contains more than 100 five-to-eight minute short stories told by the recipients themselves using interview footage, action file footage, narration and music to enhance the overall content and impact.
