The Hall Of Heroes
It
is an honor to welcome you to the Home of Heroes website.
On this site you will find an incredible amount of information
regarding some of our nation's bravest individuals - the
recipients of the Medal of Honor.
I
am Congressman John Salazar and I represent Pueblo, Colorado -
America's Home of Heroes. I hope you find this
site educational and eye opening.
I
encourage you to dive into this website and learn all you can
about the Medal of Honor, its history and its recipients.
Each Medal of Honor recipient has a unique story of valor and
courage, but they are all united by a dedication to freedom
and liberty.
Medal
of Honor recipients are true heroes. These brave
individuals risked life and limb for our nation and were
rewarded with our nation's highest honor.
We cannot allow that honor to be degraded by fakes and
phonies.
This
website helps us remember the true heroes, so their service
will not be forgotten. While you're here, take the time to
explore all of the other resources that have been made
available to you.

The Hall Of Heroes is a "Virtual Museum",
so real it is not unusual for us to receive e-mails from people wanting to make a personal
visit. Is is the ultimate "impossible dream" of your webmaster, Doug
Sterner. In 1996 Doug was enjoying a successful career in real estate management
when his good friend Pete Lemon remarked, "You are wasting your talents in this
business...you should be running a museum to share your knowledge of history with
kids." Over the next two years Doug designed that museum, creating two scale
models so real, photos in this website give the impression of being inside an actual
facility.
 In 1998 Doug
left his real estate career and, at the age of 48, went back to college to obtain a degree
in Computer Information Systems. During the period, while still hoping to someday
build the Hall Of Heroes, he began creating our on-line version. It now contains
some 12,000 pages of historical information organized in an easy to navigate, chronology
of American History. Teachers, students, historians, veterans, and anyone who's
heart is moved when the flag passes by, will find the Hall Of Heroes and unforgettable
experience. Click on the button below and step into our special Hall Of Heroes.

THE HALL OF
HEROES DOES NOT PRESENTLY EXIST AS A PHYSICAL FACILITY. When
constructed, the actual facility will one day provide a unique educational
experience. Its design and layout is planned to provide all-day, school field trips
with a structured curriculum for teaching American history and inspiring youth.
