Ground stone is part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Medal of Honor Memorial, located on the east side of the Capitol on Commonwealth Avenue in an area called the Soldiers Grove, a stately area of red oak trees dedicated to Pennsylvania military veterans.
A stone near the memorial’s entrance says in part: “This memorial is dedicated by a grateful Commonwealth to the Medal of Honor recipients of Pennsylvania for their supreme bravery above and beyond the call of duty.”
Located in Scranton’s Courthouse Square, the four Medal of Honor recipients hailing from Lackawanna County–including Patrick DeLacy–are featured on stones with bronze plaques with their citations.
