Walter Reed salutes the U.S. Navy Dental Corps for its 112 years of service to the nation. On Aug. 22, 1912, the 62nd U.S. Congress passed an act, signed by President Howard Taft, establishing the U.S. Navy Dental Corps. Walter Reed also honors Medal of Honor recipients who served in military medicine, with their illustrations and biographies on display as part of an exhibit on the second deck of Bldg. 10 outside of Clark Auditorium. Among those honored are the only two U.S. Navy Dental Corps members to receive the Medal of Honor.
