The Academy’s official 100 Objects series identifies the Medals of Honor associated with Robert Dale Reem and Cassin Young. Those are documented museum-curated medal-object narratives. A recipient archive record currently exists for Reem, but Cassin Young is absent from the current recipient index, so only Reem receives a reciprocal named biography link in this expansion.

VMI identifies seven Medal of Honor recipient alumni, and the museum states that seven Medal of Honor objects are part of its collection. Congressional Medal of Honor Society location records support original-medal classification for Clarence Sutton, Cary Langhorne, Adolphus Staton, and Richard Byrd Jr.; identify Edward Schowalter Jr.’s object as a duplicate; and leave the Kilbourne and Upshur objects documented without an unsupported originality claim.

Official recipient-location records connect the museum to multiple original Medals of Honor. Those records make West Point an important repository for the material history of recipient service, while the museum’s academy collections provide biographical and professional context for several recipients.
