The Pueblo Medal of Honor Memorial, seen in the photo above, was removed in late September of 2017 and put in storage during the expansion project of the Pueblo Convention Center. A new nearby location was designed and planned for the Memorial so that it could be reinstalled sometime in 2019. The expansion construction is now nearing completion and components of the Memorial are now being set in their new home. The photographs below show the beginning of that process as the statues are reset on their bases in early March 2019. A rededication of the Pueblo Home of Heroes Memorial will take place on Saturday, May 11th at 10:00am.
The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States.
Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress, it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor.
