THE TEXAS MARINE MEDAL OF HONOR MONUMENT
Dedicated on May 25, 2007.
Located in The Woodlands, Texas, the Texas Marines Medal of Honor Monument was dedicated on May 25, 2007 in Town Green Park. The memorial monument honors the acts of heroism and sacrifice of Marine Medal of Honor recipients who enlisted in or were born in the State of Texas.
The President, in the name of Congress, has bestowed over 3,400 Medals of Honor on the bravest individuals to have served in the U.S. Armed Forces since the decoration's creation in 1861. The citations highlighting these acts of heroism resided in dusty archives until 1973, when the U.S. Senate ordered that they be compiled for publication.
