Medal of Honor Recipient and Retired U.S. Army Capt. Gary Michael “Mike” Rose emphasizes the importance of using the correct terminology when discussing military awards. He points out that the proper term is "Recipient," not "winner." Military awards are not something to be sought after, but rather a recognition of the sacrifices made by those who serve their country. Recipient Rose's words serve as a reminder of the courage and dedication of our nation's heroes. https://lnkd.in/dFUs65eu

About us
Mission Statement: The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor, inspiring America to live the values the medal represents, and supporting Recipients of the medal as they connect with communities across America. About The Society: Chartered by Congress in 1958, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's membership is comprised of those who wear the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military award for valor. As individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor Recipients are committed to serving our country in peace as they did in war by championing the values of courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism, and citizenship. That mission has become increasingly important as the number of living Medal of Honor Recipients continues to decrease. The nonprofit Society preserves their stories and shares their values through Outreach and Education initiatives and its Medal of Honor Museum. 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. Mission: The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor and its Recipients while inspiring and connecting Recipients with communities across the United States.

74 years ago today, Recipient Melvin Handrich went above and beyond the call of duty, demonstrating acts of sacrifice for which he would later be awarded the Medal of Honor. Faced with overwhelming enemy forces, Recipient Handrich repeatedly placed himself in mortal danger to defend his position. For eight grueling hours, he directed artillery and mortar fire, often while under close-range attack. Even after being severely wounded, he refused medical attention, continuing to fight and inspire his men. His heroic actions were instrumental in repelling the enemy and preventing the loss of his position. https://lnkd.in/ebZvmHnw
