Minnesota Medal of Honor Day
2024-03-25 | MN
On March 25th of each year, Minnesota and the nation observes Medal of Honor Day. On a national level it wasn’t until March 25, 1991, when Congress declared as a day to “foster public appreciation and recognition of Medal of Honor recipients.” The date of March 25th is the anniversary of the first presentations of a Medal of Honor during the Civil War in 1863.
In 2009, the Minnesota House passed HF433 / SF236, which designated March 25 as Medal of Honor Day. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Obermueller (DFL-Eagan) and Sen. Jim Carlson (DFL-Eagan), the bill honors Minnesotans who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was first presented on that date in 1863. The bill passed unanimously in the House and Senate. It was signed into law by Governor Tim Pawlenty that year.
Each year, the Governor will issue a proclamation declaring March 25th as Minnesota Medal of Honor Day.
At this time there are no living Medal of Honor recipients from the State of Minnesota.

National Medal of Honor Day
2024-03-25 | MN
National Medal of Honor Day is observed every year on March 25 and is dedicated to Medal of Honor Recipients. Each branch of the U.S. military awards the Medal of Honor to those who have distinguished themselves “conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity” above and beyond the call of duty, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs official site.

The Medal of Honor is awarded only to military members; it is awarded by Congress and is also known as the Congressional Medal of Honor. National Medal of Honor Day is a time to remember the sacrifices of men and women in uniform who have earned this highest of military honors.
