OUR NATION's NEWEST MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT

Captain

Larry Taylor

The United States and the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center will welcome our nation’s newest Medal of Honor recipient on September 5, 2023 during a ceremony at the White House.

Explore the story of Captain Larry Taylor, from his youth in his hometown of Chattanooga, to his gallant action in Vietnam, to the journey to achieve recognition with the nation’s highest award for military valor.

A First Class Experience

To Find The Hero Within

Chattanooga is where our nation’s highest military honor for valor was first awarded. Experience the powerful stories of ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary things. Spending just an hour or two at Chattanooga’s newest attraction will inspire you and your family with the values demonstrated by Medal of Honor recipients – patriotism, courage, citizenship, integrity, sacrifice, and commitment.

Everyone has a hero. Honor your Hero Today!

Bricks of Honor

Do you have a Hero that needs to be honored? The Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center launched its “Bricks of Honor” campaign to provide a meaningful and memorable way for people to recognize and honor someone special in their life while supporting the Heritage Center’s mission.

We have three options for purchasing a commemorative brick that will be placed in front of the Heritage Center in downtown Chattanooga — the Birthplace of the Medal of Honor. These custom-engraved pavers are unique gifts for memorials, retirements, promotions, graduations, anniversaries and more. They also allow supporters to leave a lasting tribute for a fellow veteran, family member, loved one or their business. Get your “Brick of Honor” today.

Educational Resources

Where Education Meets Inspiration

A key focus of the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center is education. We extend beyond the Heritage Center walls to help current and future generations locally and across our country find the relevance of the Medal of Honor in their own lives. Thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers, we teach the common character traits that embody Medal of Honor recipients – Patriotism, Citizenship, Courage, Integrity, Sacrifice and Commitment. In doing so, we believe our youth – our future leaders – will learn to emulate these six character traits to make their lives and communities better.
