Texas Medal of Honor Memorial at Texas State Cemetery

Historical context

About this institution

The Texas Medal of Honor Memorial stands within the Texas State Cemetery as a formal state tribute to native-born and adopted Texans who earned the nation’s highest military honor. Unveiled on May 31, 1999, the monument memorializes eighty-three men. The surrounding plots became a reserved Medal of Honor burial area after James Marion Logan received cemetery plots at the dedication.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

This site combines a state-defined recipient memorial with an official cemetery plot record and an ongoing burial tradition. It allows the archive to show the difference between collective state commemoration, an individually locatable gravesite, and custody of a recipient’s award or personal papers.
