Accompanying the medallion is the legacy of the Honor and Remembrance Medallion, which says, in conclusion, "Be ever mindful that the American Flag and the dignity and value of America's freedoms must never be taken for granted. The blood, sacrifices and lives of countless patriots were an awesome price to pay for the liberties of this land called America."
Weiershausen was assigned to the Down Range Stations in the Caribbean Islands, serving as Commander, Grand Turk AUX AFB. He was on one of the first bulldozers to clear the land for the launching pads at Cape Canaveral Missile Program.
