An etching on the granite wall at the Laurel Hill Memorial Park in Cle Elum pays tribute to Douglas Munro, the only Coast Guardsmen to receive the Medal of Honor. Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009 marks the 67th anniversary of his death. Munro took heroic actions during the Guadalcanal campaign in World War II by putting himself in between 500 Marines and an advancing Japanese force.
