Medal of Honor Day - held on Tuesday this year - commemorates the men and women who have received the nation’s highest military award for valor.
Chattanooga - the birthplace of the Medal of Honor - is the home of the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.
On Saturday, the center opens a new exhibit - honoring Capt. Larry Taylor, the Chattanooga native awarded the Medal of Honor in 2023 for his heroic acts as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War.
Vince Butler is the major gifts officer at the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.
