Who We Honor

The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest award for valor and bravery in combat. Richmond has a unique and storied status, with nine Medal of Honor Recipients hailing from the city, rivaling the most for one zip code in the entire nation. These Recipients form a diverse group of individuals who exemplify the best the city has to offer. This is a legacy that Richmonders can be proud of and Monumental Honor was founded to share their stories. Click the names below to learn more about each Recipient!
