The Allen County Museum and Historical Society wants to invite the public to view a new display that honors one of their already existing exhibits. On this day ten years ago, the Roll of Valor exhibit was unveiled at the Allen County Museum. On Friday, it was rededicated to all that have received Medals of Honor in our country, especially the two from Lima. William E. Metzger Jr. and Leonard F. Mason both lost their lives fighting in World War II and received their medals posthumously. April 16th was declared "Mason-Metzger Roll of Valor Day" by Mayor David Berger in his proclamation. While this dedication is meant to remind the public of the decade old exhibit, there are a few new pieces added to commemorate it.
