Garfield Langhorn Medal of Honor Interment

Event Details

State wide

Garfield Langhorn made the supreme sacrifice on January 15, 1969 when he threw himself on an enemy grenade to protect and save a fellow soldier. On April 7, 1970 President Richard M Nixon posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. At the time of Garfield's interment Calverton National Cemetery didn't exist. Garfield was intered at Riverhead Community Cemetery. At the surviving family members request I have been asked to have e Garfield remains exhumed and reintered at Calverton. I am asking that the Patch help me with my GoFund Me site to acquire the funds necessary for this endeavor.

Kind Regards

Timothy S Dahlen Sr. Ret.
