This is a lovely Memorial in an
enjoyable area, enhanced by the serenity of a historic canal passing by
this site. The Stories of the Medal Honorees are played softly over
speakers as you read their names on the walls. It is impossible not to
be moved by the bravery exhibited by these individuals and by this
memorial. For more information about the CMOH

THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR MEMORIAL America’s highest award for
Military Valor is the Medal of Honor. Those chosen to receive this
award have performed acts of such conspicuous gallantry that their
actions are considered “Above and beyond the call of duty”. The
Congressional Medal of Honor Memorial is located in downtown
Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a group of 27 curved, glass walls engraved
with the names of the recipients of this Medal. There are 3,459 names
etched in the glass. These men and one woman represent 15 major
conflicts dating back to the Civil War, in which the United States has
seen action. Parking in any major U.S. city can be a problem. You
can park just south of the Memorial in the White River State Park
Garage for a small fee. There will be a shortwalk to the site from the
Garage. There are very few parking meters in this area. Get
credit for the cache!!! E-Mail to me the name of an ordinary Seaman who
received the Medal of Honor for his action at Kanaghwa-Do, Korea.
PLEASE, DO NOT PUT HIS NAME IN YOUR LOG. Enjoy...
