National Medal of Honor Museum Opened March 25
[Fox4News KDFW] The National Medal of Honor Museum is set to open Tuesday in Arlington, just west of Dallas. It highlights the lives and service of Medal of Honor recipients from the Civil War to the global war on terrorism.
One of the more expansive exhibits in the museum is the "More Than a Medal" exhibit. Inside, visitors will find memorabilia and personal effects that let visitors put faces to the nation's most prestigious military award.
"That's what this place is," museum President and CEO Chris Cassidy said. "It's a place for the stories of those Medal of Honor recipients."
Another exhibit lets visitors speak with Medal of Honor recipients and ask them questions. There are over 60 recipients who are still living.
"We sit down recipients and we ask them hundreds of questions, over the course of several days with lots of cameras trained on them," Waters said. "We use AI to match the question with the most appropriate answer. We don’t use AI to put words in their mouths. So all of the answers are the words the recipients actually said."
A Holocaust museum that opened in Dallas a couple of years ago did similar interviews with survivors. I believe the generated responses to questions were to include a recorded image of the survivor, 'speaking' to the audience.
