The Purple Heart Medal will have its own monument at the 1st Cavalry Division Museum at Fort Hood next month. The monument is slated for dedication during a Sept. 13 ceremony that will also mark the division’s 85th anniversary and the museum’s 35th anniversary.
It will be made of marble and stand approximately 8 feet tall near the center of the museum grounds. Steven Draper, museum director, said he also plans to unveil some renovations to the museum’s main galleries Sept. 13. The main galleries cover the history of division units from 1855 to its deployment to Bosnia in 1998.
