Just got back from Orlando where I went on a tour of the Army's RDECOM Simulation & Training Technology Center. They recently renamed it the Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith Simulation and Training Technology Center and made a point of letting us spend a few moments near the memorial outside as well as view the replica of the MOH hanging in the conference room.
It was very moving, especially the engraved bricks along the walkway with special messages from family members.
As I understand it, they had decided to name the Center after him before he was nominated for the Medal of Honor. Truly an outstanding individual.
