With a 60 year ministry comes historic and memorable artifacts. For the remainder of this year, we will feature a monthly collection of artifacts from our archives. This month we are featuring multiple military items that were given to Billy Graham in the 1900s.

1960s — Marine Corps Plaque

Lt. General R.E. Cushman, Jr. gave this plaque to Billy Graham from the Air Ground Team/Marine Amphibious Force of the United States Marine Corps Danang, Vietnam.

1972 — Sword and Scabbard

This sword and scabbard were given to Billy Graham on May 4, 1972, at a dedicated service by the U.S. Corps of Cadets-U.S. Military Academy.

1990 — U.S.S. Cushing Plaque

Billy visited the officers and crew of the U.S.S. Cushing in 1990, during the Gulf War, and was given this plaque.
