Resting at Hampton National Cemetery are eight recipients of the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military award.

Seven were awarded the Medal of Honor for service during the Civil War, while the eighth was honored for his bravery and sacrifice during the Vietnam Conflict.

Their personal histories mark this nation's diversity.

While the information regarding each recipient may seem sparse, there can be no doubt of their commitment, courage and valor.
