After three years of construction – and decades of dreams – the National Medal of Honor Museum will open its doors this month. In their actions on the battlefield and beyond, Medal of Honor Recipients embody the values intrinsic to the Medal: citizenship and patriotism, commitment and integrity, courage and sacrifice. And while the Museum will explore all of these values, each of us relates to the values in a unique way. Recently, we asked Medal of Honor Recipients and their family members which of the six values resonates with them the most.

Tickets to visit the National Medal of Honor Museum are now available for purchase on the Museum’s website ahead of the doors opening to the public on March 25, 2025. The Museum has more than 100,000 square feet of space, including 31,000 square feet dedicated to Exhibition Galleries telling the history of the Medal of Honor and the stories of the American heroes who earned it. More information to help guests plan their visit is available at mohmuseum.org.

With just a few weeks to go until the National Medal of Honor Museum’s Grand Opening, host Mo Barrett talks to architect Bassam Komati, the Partner-in-Charge at Rafael Viñoly Architects for the National Medal of Honor Museum, about how the Museum has gone from blueprints to a real building. They discuss how the design has changed throughout construction, how the architecture and exhibits complement one another, and how he has executed Rafael Viñoly’s vision.

The start of the new year is a time to reflect on ways we can improve. As infallible as they may seem, Medal of Honor Recipients are no different. Looking back on their lives, there’s some changes they would have liked to make. Recently, we asked a few Recipients to share the advice they would give to their younger selves. The wisdom they shared about modesty, discipline, gratefulness, and more is applicable at all stages of life.
