The Medal of Honor is a symbol of courage & sacrifice, commitment & integrity, citizenship & patriotism.
These are true stories. This is the Medal of Honor. A celebration of the human spirit, the National Medal of Honor Museum honors the inspiring lives and legacies of ordinary Americans who took extraordinary action in the service of others.
Over 40 million Americans have served in the US Armed Forces since the Civil War. Fewer than 4,000 have received the Medal of Honor. Before they were national heroes, they were neighbors, newlyweds, parents, students, and friends. What made them go above and beyond the call of duty?
