Pentagon Hall of Heroes

The hall is wholly devoted to Medal of Honor remembrance. The federal description states that every recipient’s name is displayed, while recipient-specific Army evidence documents Woodrow Wilson Keeble’s plaque unveiling and permanent inclusion after his posthumous award.

Historical context

About this institution

Opened in 1968 on the Pentagon’s main concourse, the Hall of Heroes is the Department of War’s formal room of recognition for Medal of Honor recipients. The hall is used for induction ceremonies and official observances, with recipient names displayed across the room and large replicas representing the Army, Navy, and Air Force forms of the medal anchoring the ceremonial stage.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

The Hall of Heroes is a primary federal memorial source for recipient-name recognition and induction history. It should be researched as a ceremonial and interpretive site rather than as a repository of recipients’ original medals.
