Col. Harvey C. Barnum, Jr., USMC (Ret.)

Having been an Artillery officer for ten years in the Army National Guard and Army Reserves, I had to take advantage of the opportunity to get a picture taken with Medal of Honor recipient Harvey C. Barnum, Jr. As an Artillery Forward Observer with the Marines in Vietnam, then 1LT Barnum received the Medal of Honor for actions taken during Operation Harvest Moon in December of 1965. The video of his appearance can be viewed at the Pritzker Military Library website.
