The Medal of Honor was presented to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Courtney, Sr., of Duluth on December 30, 1947, by Commandant of the Marine Corps General Alexander A. Vandegrift. Major Courtney's remains were initially buried in the 6th Marine Division Cemetery on Okinawa. In 1948 his remains were re-interred in Calvary Cemetery in Duluth. A replica of Major Courtney's Medal of Honor will be on display at the Veterans' Memorial Hall (Duluth, Minnesota); a program of the St. Louis County Historical Society.
