Medal of Honor Day

‎03-25-2020 01:18 PM

 

Today is National Medal of Honor Day, a time to remember the 3,500+ heroes who received the nation’s highest award for valor. In these extraordinary times, it is important to remember those who came before us and sacrificed much for our nation.

For service members who carry out the bravest and most selfless acts in combat, the military bestows its most esteemed valor awards: the Medal of Honor, the Service Crosses and the Silver Star.

 

The Medal of Honor was first authorized in 1861 for sailors and Marines, and soldiers the following year.
