To thank the community for their donations, the Michael Crescenz Medal of Honor Statue Committee presented the City of Sea Isle City with a miniature version of the Corporal Michael Crescenz statue, which now stands at the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Penn’s Landing. Corporal Crescenz, the only Philadelphian to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War, was a summer resident in Sea Isle City before entering the army. Sea Isle City’s 46th Street was re-named in his honor in 2014.
