Congressional Medal of Honor Society
United States
Приєднався 3 вер 2019
Chartered by Congress in 1958, the Congressional
Medal of Honor Society’s membership is limited to
those who wear the Medal of Honor - to those who
have gone above and beyond the call of duty. The Society
reflects their dedication to courage, sacrifice, integrity,
commitment, patriotism, and citizenship that makes our
nation great.
Today, the Society is a 501(c)(3) devoted to sharing
the values of the Medal of Honor Recipients through
outreach, education and research. As the number of
living Medal of Honor Recipients continues to decrease,
this mission has become increasingly important, and the
Recipients and the staff who support them are committed
to continuing the work.
By serving, remembering, supporting, and honoring
the sacrifice of the Recipients, by sharing the stories and
values inherent in them, we understand the responsibility
and potential within each one of us to impact the world.
