Honor Accorded to Robert Blake Who Received Medal of Honor-- Part 2

Robert Blake was awarded the medal of Honor four months later.  Probably at the recommendation of the Marblehead's commander, Richard Worsam Meade.

The South Carolina DMV is dedicating six field offices over the next two weeks to honor South Carolinian Medal of Honor winners like Blake.  Doing so enables people of the state to learn about relatively unknown heroes.

In 2019, another DMV office in the state was named after Kyle Carpenter who, while in Afghanistan, took the full blast of a hand grenade  to save a fellow Marine.  He survived.  The DMV office in Batesburg-Leesville was named ofr him.

Unfortunately, after a quick search I was unable to find the names of other DMVs named after Medal of Honor winner.  But, this is a fantastic thing South Carolina is doing to honor and recognize its own heroes.
