Evergreen Washelli is proud to have in our care several Medal of Honor Recipients and one Silver Star Recipient. We are now creating a permanent marker that will tell each medal recipient’s heroic story. This permanent tribute is our way of thanking each medal recipient and their families for their selfless and courageous service to this country. We invite you to attend the ceremony and witness the unveiling of their permanent memorials, to visit their graves, read their stories and see images of the medals received.
This special ceremony will pay tribute to our Medal of Honor Recipients: Lewis Albanese (Vietnam), William C. Horton (Spanish/American), Robert Ronald Leisy (Vietnam), William Kenzo Nakamura (World War II), Orville Emil Bloch (World War II), Harry Delmar Fadden (Spanish/American), and Silver Star recipient Vesa Juhani Alakulppi (Vietnam).
