	MEDAL OF HONOR Commemoration and Unveiling Saturday February 27, 1993 Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center

	The Medal The Medal of Honor is the one award which all patriotic Americans respect and honor. Like the American flag it represents freedom and the price that was paid for it. Being the highest military award given for bravery, it touches the heart of all who view it. The Recipients Seven proud Aggies displayed the strength, courage, dedication and fighting spirit necessary to receive this nation's highest honor for bravery during WWII. Their total disregard for personal safety in lieu of accomplishing their mission is a daily lesson to all Aggies who follow in their footsteps. The Bas Reliefs The portraits of the seven medal of Honor recipients of WWII are executed in bronze bas relief. In addition to numerous photographs, live models dressed in authentic uniforms and brass of the period were used to capture the likeness of each individual during the sculpting process. The same clay used to create the life size bronze of Lawrence Sullivan Ross was used to sculpt these bas reliefs.
