“A HERO IS SOMEONE WHO HAS GIVEN HIS OR HER LIFE TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ONESELF.”
— JOSEPH CAMPBELL
DECORATING OUR HEROES Temporary Exhibit in Freedom Gallery
Visitors to the new Medal of Honor exhibit also learned about other decorations the military uses to recognize its heroes in this temporary exhibit.
It featured stories of Wisconsinites who have received Purple Hearts, the Navy Cross, or Silver Stars. This student (pictured here) was particularly taken with the story of Anna Mae Robertson who served in the “Six Triple Eight” postal battalion, the only all-female Black unit to serve overseas during World War II. The War Memorial Center connected the student with Robertson for a personal visit to meet a hero!
