After 100 years, the Military Memorial Museum of Upper Cumberland has announced that Sergeant Milo Lemert’s United States Congressional Medal of Honor will be on display at the museum in downtown Crossville September 26-27, 2025.
In 1919, Sgt. Lemert’s Medal of Honor was presented to his widow Nellie Snodgrass Lemert on the Crossville Courthouse steps for his heroic bravery on September 29, 1918 near Bellicourt, France.

Doors will be open September 26, from 1pm-6pm
Doors will be open September 27, from 9am-3pm
