80 Years ago...

On June 18, 1945, in a rare battlefield ceremony in Dornstadt, Germany, Technical Sergeant Charles H. Coolidge was formally presented the Medal of Honor by LTGEN Wade H. Haislip for his extraordinary heroism near Belmont-sur-Buttant, France.


Today, we honor that moment, 80 years later, by officially launching the Charles H. Coolidge Archive website: charlescoolidgemoh.com — a permanent digital tribute preserving his legacy, documents, photos, and firsthand history for future generations.


Explore the archive and learn the story of a true American hero.
