The Army documented the Rubin family’s June 2022 transfer of Tibor Rubin’s original Medal of Honor to the division. The medal was placed in or intended for the headquarters Heritage Hall with Rubin’s story; this is strong dated custody and display evidence, but not independent confirmation of unrestricted or current 2026 public viewing.

Audie Murphy is one of the best-known Medal of Honor recipients, and the museum provides focused interpretation of his military career, postwar life, and local legacy. The profile below distinguishes that substantial recipient interpretation from any unsupported claim about the location of his original medal.
The museum’s 92nd Infantry Division interpretation names Vernon J. Baker and John R. Fox while examining the discriminatory delay in awarding Medals of Honor to Black World War II servicemen. This provides strong individual recipient connections through curated historical narrative, without implying either man’s original medal is on-site.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society identifies the Dallas Scottish Rite Museum as the location of Audie Leon Murphy’s Medal of Honor. Because the available direct evidence does not distinguish a presentation medal from a replacement or confirm continuous display, the Archive publishes a qualified location relationship rather than an original-medal exhibit claim.
This is a particularly strong medal-history destination because its dedicated exhibit identifies six former post personnel who became Medal of Honor recipients and names original personal belongings: Boehm’s saber, Webber’s Henry rifle on loan, Brady’s donated uniform, and recipients’ pistols. The displayed examples of medal designs are not described by the museum as the named recipients’ original presentation medals.
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 organization directly describes artifacts originating with Medal of Honor recipients and their families, alongside interpretive exhibitions and outreach. The source does not name the owners of specific medals, so those objects remain institution-linked rather than attributed to particular recipients.

This is one of the archive’s principal institutions for understanding the award itself, the values associated with it, and the ways recipient stories are interpreted for a broad public audience. Named exhibit relationships are published separately below only when supported by current museum evidence.
Medal of Honor recipient stories are part of the museum’s interpretation of Pacific combat, leadership, sacrifice, and remembrance. This profile records that substantial interpretive role without asserting possession of a specific original medal unless a direct artifact record is added later.
The Corps of Cadets directly states that the original Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to Lieutenant Turney W. Leonard, together with his recovered Aggie Ring, are on permanent display in the center. The Corps website also profiles other former cadets who received the Medal of Honor, but this archive does not assume their original medals are all in the same exhibit without artifact-level evidence.

The exhibit explicitly honors Texans who received the federal Medal of Honor as well as recipients of the separate Texas Legislative Medal of Honor. The archive publishes one controlled exhibit-level relationship because the official page defines the experience and its scope but does not provide a stable recipient-by-recipient roster suitable for reciprocal archive links.
Hill College explicitly records World War II officer James Lindell Harris’s Medal of Honor and a substantial collection of Audie Murphy personal artifacts. The Official Texas State Medal of Honor Memorial to Native-Born Texans, located on the grounds, highlights Audie Murphy, Samuel Dealey and other native-born Texas recipients. The memorial is not a claim that every commemorated person’s medal is held here.
