Join us at the Bucks County Civil War Museum and Library for a Speaker Event on Saturday, December 9th at 11:00AM. Historian, Kyle Purchase, will discuss the origins and heroic stories of the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor. Throughout the American Civil War, there were over 1,400 acts of sacrifice, gallantry, valor, and bravery in defense of the Union that were worthy of the bestowment of the Medal of Honor. Some of these stories will be told by reading the official Medal of Honor citations of these recipients. Someone has once said that “every man has two deaths: when he is buried in the ground, and the last time someone says his name.” Hopefully this presentation will keep the memory of these Medal of Honor recipients alive as well as provide a reminder that freedom is not free. This event is free of charge, donations are welcome.
