The Indiana War Memorials Foundation states that the twenty-seven glass walls are etched with the names of all Medal of Honor recipients and represent fifteen conflicts. The archive preserves this as one collective memorial relationship rather than thousands of redundant recipient links. The site is commemorative and does not imply custody of original medals or personal artifacts.
The War Memorial’s published battle flag history documents Color Sergeant George Lovell Banks of the 15th Indiana Infantry carrying the regimental colors at Missionary Ridge in 1863 and receiving the Medal of Honor. This is a direct connection to a documented regimental flag, not evidence that Banks’s physical Medal of Honor is in the museum.
The official museum memorial page identifies George H. O’Brien Jr., a Korean War Medal of Honor recipient, as the subject of a larger-than-life bronze artwork sculpted by Doyle Glass in 2008. The memorial centerpiece is on loan to the museum. It is an interpretive sculpture and monument, not an original Medal of Honor or a recipient-owned artifact.

The museum’s July 2011 announcement introduced its Medal of Honor Stories Kiosk, featuring recipient video interviews and a searchable database. This is documented historical Medal of Honor interpretation, but the dated launch report does not establish that the same kiosk remains installed in 2026 or that the museum owns the recipients’ original medals.
Museum curator Michael Vogt stated in a recorded Iowa PBS interview that the institution possesses the complete Civil War Medal of Honor awarded to Edward James Bebb, donated by the recipient’s family. A government-issued photograph also documents the museum’s Bebb display in 2021. This is specific, original-artifact evidence, not a general assumption that a museum of Iowa soldiers owns every named medal.

The official recipient-location record for William Maud Bryant identifies the museum as a location of his original Medal of Honor. His Vietnam-era service provides a direct recipient connection to the museum’s broader special-warfare interpretation.

Pejepscot History Center directly documents the 2013 donation of Chamberlain’s original Medal of Honor and states that the medal is held at and presented for viewing in the Chamberlain Museum. The medal recognizes his action at Little Round Top during the July 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.

The Kentucky National Guard’s official World War I history identifies an especially concrete connection: the family of Medal of Honor recipient Willie Sandlin donated his original Medal of Honor to the Kentucky Military History Museum in 2000. The donation establishes an original artifact relationship, but it does not by itself prove that the medal remains on public display today.

The plaque is a collective state recipient record. M032 does not attempt to infer an individual relationship for every name without a current official roster, and it does not create a Garlin Murl Conner backlink because the preserved recipient index does not yet contain a canonical Conner record. The record describes commemoration only, not possession of medals or personal artifacts.
The museum is a documented location for the original Medal of Honor of Marine Private Robert M. McTureous Jr., a Lake County recipient killed after his heroic action on Okinawa. This creates a direct local-history link between the recipient, his home region, and the physical award.

The Congressional Medal of Honor Society lists Martin Freeman’s Medal of Honor at the Old Spanish Fort & Museum in Pascagoula. The museum’s official history establishes that Old Spanish Fort is the former name of today’s LaPointe-Krebs House and Museum, allowing the historic medal-location record to be attached to the current visitor institution without inventing a new custody chain. Freeman served as first-class pilot aboard USS Hartford during the Battle of Mobile Bay. The archive records the original-medal location while leaving current gallery availability unclaimed.

The society specifically announced an original Medal of Honor awarded to Ignatz Gresser for a special July 4, 2026 viewing. Gresser was recognized for rescuing a wounded comrade under fire at Antietam. That dated event is evidence of a held medal, not a permanent-display schedule.
