The Heritage Center was delighted to welcome our guests for a full tour. “A visit to the Medal of Honor Heritage Center is a MUST for every military reunion. It was wonderful to see the care and thought taken in sharing the stories of not only the recipients but the medal itself,” said Sharon Danitschek, President of The Military Reunion Network.
