Major (ret.) Drew Dix - Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient
What an honor to sit and have a one on one conversation with Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, Mr. Drew D. Dix of Westcliffe, Colorado.
A member of the "Pueblo Four", this humble and noble gentleman shares his passion for capturing and memorializing the individual contributions of those who have served with dignity and selflessness in the cause for freedom and liberty.
Dix is a co-founder of one of the largest collections of Medal of Honor recipient portraits in the nation at the renown Center for American Values found along Pueblo, Colorado's Riverwalk. Pueblo is known as the "Home of Heroes", due to four Medial of Honor Recipients who originate from the community.
About The Center for American Values
The Center for American Values’ organizational mission is based on the need for a national initiative to identify, document, and disseminate information about individuals, groups and organizations whose character attributes relate directly to the values this great country was founded on. The Center displays an extraordinary collection of photographic portraits and documentation of over 140 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. The collection is a powerful example of the self-sacrifices one segment of our society has made to protect the freedoms we enjoy.
