Four Recipients from the Vietnam War Join the Museum's Medal of Honor Advisory Board

As the museum continues to grow and expand, our core values in our mission to promote an understanding of the Vietnam War, while honoring those who served, remain the same. At the center of our mission are the lives and stories of thousands of everyday Americans who answered the call and served their country. While our museum board and staff are predominately comprised of Vietnam War veterans, we acknowledged the need to expand our support with qualified and prominent voices help us amplify these stories we are telling. The museum's answer to this need was to officially form a Medal of Honor Advisory Board. This past September, our team met with six Medal of Honor Recipients during a veterans event. As a result of this meeting, Major General James E. Livingston, USMC (Ret), Major General Patrick H. Brady, USA (Ret), Colonel Donald E. Ballard, ARNG (Ret), and Sergeant First Class Sammy L. Davis, USA (Ret), agreed to join our advisory board. The Museum believes that these individuals are incredibly well equipped to advise the museum on what it means to sacrifice for our nation. The Medal of Honor Advisory Board aims to meet twice a year, and the museum is most grateful to have the support of these four distinguished Vietnam veterans.
