About the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership

National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership will prepare citizens with the leadership knowledge, skills, and examples from our Medal of Honor recipients, empowering them to overcome adversity and realize greater opportunities.

We like to say “Leaders are Made, Not Born”. Some people truly rise to meet a moment of need and demonstrate selfless leadership in its purest form. Today more than ever, Americans need models of leadership to bring them together and prepare them for the future. We believe there’s no better source of inspiration than the bravery, selflessness, and commitment demonstrated by those rare heroes bestowed the Medal of Honor.

Please join us in this historic campaign to Inspire, Educate, Honor, and Unite America.

Our History

1999
The United States Congress by joint Senate and House Bill 1663 designated Patriot’s Point as the home of the National Medal of Honor Museum in October of 1999.
2007
The museum was enhanced in 2007 with the recognition that more space would be needed. As a result, there was an attempt to build a large museum on land adjoining the Yorktown site. However, for various reasons including that the effort could not obtain the national fundraising required, the group discontinued its quest in November 2018.
2019
In assembling the effort, a public announcement was made before over 200 attendees aboard the USS Yorktown on July 29, 2019, announcing the creation of the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership.
2022
An immersive museum experience was designed by Healy Kohler Inc., a top design firm from Washington, D.C. The architectural plan was completed by Glick Boehm & Associates of Charleston, S.C. As the function and purpose developed, the private and corporate fundraising process was initiated in August of 2022.
2023
Nearly $17 million has already been raised as of late January 2023.
2023
In the interim, the board voted unanimously on January 25, 2023, to assist the existing National Medal of Honor Museum on the USS Yorktown with a donation of $3.5 million.
2023
Hosted three awareness events “Inspiring American Leadership” in Columbia and Charleston, SC and Boston, MA.
