The Medal of Honor is the highest military award in the U.S., established during the Civil War, recognizing extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness. Awarded through a rigorous nomination process, the medal is given to few each year—sometimes not at all. It signifies bravery above and beyond the call of duty and embodies the military ethos. The importance of these stories is profound, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by servicemen and women, and inspiring societal values aligned with courage, resilience, and selflessness.
The Medal of Honor symbolizes the courage, selflessness, and resilience that define the highest ideals of military service, representing profound sacrifices made for the nation.
Very few individuals receive the Medal of Honor each year, with as few as thirty, or sometimes none given at all, highlighting its prestigious nature.
