Considering all the garbage they waste tax dollars on in Washington, there should be a monument in Washington to all the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients as some small token of our national debt and gratitude to them, and by extension, to ALL men and women who served America in our fighting forces.

Speaking of Medal of Honor recipients, does anyone know the name of the 5 that were at the GOP convention?

The Congressional Medal of Honor Museum Located on board the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the Congressional Medal of Honor Museum features interactive exhibits that explain the origin of the Medal of Honor and what it stands for.

However, your point about gov't waste and priorities stands. From the website linked above: In large part Patriots Point operates on admissions revenue as well as support that comes in the form of membership and contributions Even though Patriots Point is a State of South Carolina agency, the museum receives no funding from the legislature and enabling legislation compels the museum to be self sustaining.
