Pacific Valor Resource Page

Pacific Valor is more than a demonstration of the equipment and tactics utilized in the Pacific War.

The program you witnessed tells the true story of a Medal of Honor recipient who went “above and beyond the call of duty” on a battlefield of the Pacific.

On this page, you can learn more about the Medal of Honor and the battles in which our Medal of Honor Recipients fought for their nation. The artifacts and archival materials on display are drawn from our collection and are not usually available to the public.

The Medal of Honor

Signed into being by President Lincoln during the U.S. Civil War, this medal was initially awarded for a variety of military actions, including mass awards to entire units for re-enlistments and even to the pallbearers of Lincoln’s casket.

Later, the Medal of Honor came to be awarded only to someone who “distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.” During the Second World War, 472 Americans received the Medal of Honor, many of them posthumously.
