The Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge in a July 30 open letter defended its actions in concentrating its financial resources on its educational mission rather than in maintaining the Medal of Honor Grove.
“We intend no disrespect to the Medal of Honor recipients; however, the cost of maintaining the 52 acres is huge and has been a struggle for some time,” wrote Michael Di Yeso, president and CEO of the Freedoms Foundation.
