After much anticipation, the Capt. Larry L. Taylor exhibit at the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center will open to the public on Saturday, March 29.
The exhibit honors the late local hero who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in a helicopter rescue during the Battle of Khe Sanh.
“Like other exhibits inside the Heritage Center, we designed the Capt. Taylor exhibit to serve as a lasting tribute to his courage and bravery on June 18, 1968 — helping to ensure that future generations understand the legacy of our nation’s heroes,” said David Currey, executive director of the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.
Along with showcasing the story of Taylor’s courage + sacrifice, the exhibit will also feature:
- Historical artifacts
- A full-sized replica of the AH-1G Cobra helicopter Taylor operated
- Life-sized sculptures of the men involved in the Medal of Honor action
The ribbon cutting for the exhibit will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 29 — get your ticket to attend, as space is limited.
