Here in Charleston we have the unique distinction of housing the National Medal of Honor Museum and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. This is no small honor for our community – we are charged with preserving and communicating the stories of our nation’s most courageous citizens. Citizens who wear our nation’s highest award for military valor.

The museum is located at Patriot’s Point, aboard the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown.

PBS will be airing a special on these remarkable individuals and their stories November 5th. After a late night of watching election returns and pulling for our particular candidates, what a great way to remind ourselves of the sacrifices made that allow us to vote in peace and freedom! I encourage everyone to check their local listings for times at http://www.pbs.org/medalofhonor/.
