The Medal of Honor Murals project exists to honor America’s highest military heroes by placing permanent, hand-painted monuments along this historic route, connecting rural communities and historic towns through a shared legacy of service, sacrifice, and freedom.
U.S. Route 20 stretches coast to coast from Newport, Oregon, to Boston, Massachusetts, making it one of America’s great cross-country highways. Today, the entire length of US 20 is designated the Medal of Honor Highway—spanning 12 states: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts.
Each MoH Mural would honor the recipient by incorporating their portrait alongside a tasteful illustration of them in action, featuring their specific branch's medal. These custom military mural panels aim to keep their memory and story alive, educating tourists about all those who went above and beyond the call of duty.
Through hand painted Medal of Honor mural panels, we celebrate the bravery of these heroes, fulfilling our mission of honoring veterans and ensuring their sacrifices are remembered through striking military murals. As a patriotic mural painter for veterans memorials, I strive to bring their stories to life.

We are beginning in Sioux City, Iowa — hometown of Medal of Honor recipient Bud Day — and continue across 300 miles of Highway 20, honoring Iowa’s heroes and adding recipients from states beyond the highway’s path.
In total, Iowa has at least 54 Medal of Honor recipients, including 29 from the Civil War alone, with many distinguished heroes spanning conflicts from the late 19th century through modern wars.
The Medal of Honor Highway stretches across the entire US!
Our mission is to honor all who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect their comrades and our country—over 3,500 heroes whose stories deserve to be remembered across America.
