Medal of Honor Monument Approved | Dallas News

President Trump signed a historic bill placing the National Medal of Honor Monument on the National Mall, honoring America’s bravest with a permanent tribute near the Lincoln Memorial—named after WWII hero Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last living recipient from that war. Sixteen living Medal of Honor recipients witnessed the signing at Arlington’s acclaimed new museum, which opened last year and earned top honors as America’s best new museum. The legislation passed unanimously in both chambers—a rare feat in today’s politics—showcasing deep national respect for the medal and its recipients. Best of all? No taxpayer dollars will be used—the monument will be funded entirely by private donations through the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, ensuring this powerful symbol of courage and sacrifice becomes a lasting legacy for generations to come.
