Minuteman Minute - Bayonets! The Taking of Hill 180

Lewis Lee Millett began his military career in the Massachusetts Army National Guard in 1938.

For his heroism in taking Hill 180, he earned the Medal of Honor. Come see the bayonet on display in the Medal of Honor Gallery at the National Guard Memorial in Washington, DC
