Plans For a National Medal of Honor Museum-- Part 2

There are only 76 surviving members (now 75 with last week's death of WWII recipient Sgt. Walter Ehlers) and only six (now 5) are from World War II.

But, it is hoped these funds can be added to those raised by the nonprofit National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. //// Here's Hoping It Goes Through. --RoadDog
