Object Story
The program, inherited from a ceremony held in Washington D.C., commemorates the participant's reception of the Congressional Medal of Honor on behalf of his late father, who died during the Vietnam War. Serving in Vietnam and Laos, notably at Lima Site 85, his father's actions are memorialized within this program. Currently residing in Utah, the participant finds solace in all service members through this symbol of remembrance.
