From the May 28, 2013, WWAY 3ABC TV, Wilmington, NC, "Making History: NHHS Medal of Honor Recipients" by Tim Buckley.
New Hanover High School, serving Wilmington and its country has a remarkable record as being the only-known high school in the country with multiple Medal of Honor winners. Two graduates received the nation's highest honor.
CHARLES MURRY, Class of 1938, nearly single-handedly saved his company in Alsace, France.
BILLY HALYBURTON, Class of 1943, gave his life for fallen marines at the Battle of Okinawa.
The Greatest Generation. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
