Crescenz. As an original co-sponsor of this legislation in the Senate, I am proud to see that Corporal Crescenz courageous actions are being appropriately honored as Philadelphia’s only Medal of Honor recipient from the Vietnam War. Re-naming of the Philadelphia VA Medical Center is a tribute to the heroism of Corporal Michael Crescenz, as well as servicemembers across the country and throughout our history who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep American's safe. As this dedication now moves to the President’s desk for his signature, it will serve as a reminder of the debt of gratitude we all owe to these brave men and women. His full Medal of Honor citation is available here. Tags: Crescenz, Philadelphia VA Medical Center, Veterans | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
