MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 6, 2013 02:17 PM
From: Senator Andrew E. Dinniman
To: All Senate members
Subject: Medal of Honor Grove Day Resolution
 
On Wednesday, May 8, I will introduce a resolution designating May 20, 2013, as “Medal of Honor Grove Day” in Pennsylvania.

The Freedoms Foundation’s Medal of Honor Grove is in Schuylkill Township, Chester County, and is the nation’s oldest memorial site dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients.

As recently as three years ago, the site had fallen into disrepair and suffered from severely overgrown vegetation, fallen trees, and damaged and missing markers. But with the help of Medal of Honor recipients, veterans organizations, active-duty military personnel and more than one thousand local volunteers, the Medal of Honor Grove has been restored to a condition befitting its purpose. Furthermore, the Friends of the Medal of Honor Grove non-profit organization has been created to ensure the permanent maintenance, improvement and enhancement of the Medal of Honor Grove.

To honor the restoration of the Medal of Honor Grove and those who made it possible, my resolution designates May 20, 2013, as “Medal of Honor Grove Day” in Pennsylvania.

Introduced as SR133
