With so little media coverage for National Medal of Honor’s Day, it was surprisingly difficult to find photos and a list of the recipients who attended the awards ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery to celebrate the fourth National Medal of Honor Day on March 25.
The National Medal of Honor Day wreath laying ceremony was performed by five Medal of Honor recipients and the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos.
During the ceremony, approximately 30 Medal of Honor recipients gathered at the tomb to present Timothy Brooks, Philadelphia, Pa.; Marie Conley, Boston, Mass. and Dr. Pascal Spino, Greensburg, Pa. with the Citizen Service Before Self Honors Award.
Major Elliot Garrett, congressional correspondent, National Journal, was the master of ceremonies for the event.
