Granite State Records

Back

The Granite State Chapter established a tablet commemorating the recipients of the Patrick Henry Medallion. Created and donated, on May 31, 2006, by the Chapter Commander, COL Jack Akin, it will be placed in the New London, NH Town Hall for proper display and maintenance, and has sufficient blank plaques for the addition of 18 future recipients by the Chapter. Several of the town's local citizens have received this award for demonstrated patriotism to the United States of America.
