The Medal of Honor - HD 

Out of the 3,507 Medal of Honor recipients how many do you know? How many are talked about in history classrooms across the country? I'm ashamed to say I know of only a few & I only know those from the media who decided to make it a story. They should all be stories, talked about across the country, talked about for their service & purpose. They fought (& died or would have) for their brothers or something as simple as the freedom of me writing this comment. I shouldn't have to search out Medal of Honor recipients , it should be engrained in our memories & history. I am going to start telling my son about these heroes, making sure he knows why & how he has the rights & freedoms he takes for granted like we all do. To those who served, Thank You for your service & purpose in this world.

I want to meet one of these hero’s in real life one day. To thank them for allowing us to live. Nothing makes me more proud to be an American than these brave men.

Throughout my nearly 17 years serving in Civil Air Patrol I've had the exemplary honor of meeting many a people in uniform, even veterans from long forgotten wars such as WW II, Korea and Vietnam, but the highest honor would be to meet in person a Medal of Honor recipient!! Bravery, courage, gallantry, heroism and uncommon valor, they are some of the finest military personnel our country has ever known!!!

if you earn your countries highest honor you are just grateful to be alive but for us who will never know what they go through we can only tk god that there are people like these out there to help and protect us in any and all countries and all we can do is give our tks for your service and your sacrifices in combat and out of combat, respect and beat wishes from a grateful brit those who give all should get all regardless of the war, plz help them get of the streets we all have seen them in our own countries we have no idea of what our vets have suffered nevermind the ones who have the highest award, bravery knows no bounds nor countries

At the 47:16 mark, there is a picture on the left side of the screen. It's a picture of a young man named Dan Bullock, who wanted to serve his country so bad, he changed the date on his birth certificate to join the Marine Corp. 21 days after he arrived in Vietnam, he was killed in action, Dan Bullock was only 15 years old.

He told me I earned that when I was a pfc, I was preparing for nam, I never forgotten his words, be brave Marine you earned it

I ran away from home at 16, I was able to join the Marines 4 day's after I turned 17,I never looked back at home, I had the honor of serving under a Sgt major that was a moh recipient, he kept me out of trouble with my boot lieutenant, I forever be grateful to him, I asked him once Sgt major that ribbon your wearing, I that what I think it is, he Said this ole girl? He said yeah that's her, I was so astonished, I had the pleasure of serving under a moh recipient..

❤️Anonymous Quote : "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him". It's sad to see the last veterans of the "greatest generation" are about to fade away. God Bless & RIP to all of you that served. 🇺🇲Stay well. Go in peace.

I am glad i live in a country that produces such Men. My Hat always off to brave men. May God watch over all of you. Thank you fo your service, and for my freedom🇺🇸

Wish I could hand salute . . . one soldier - Dawes ! 🇺🇸

Great video! Thank you! MSgt Clephane, USAF, Retired!

I wish more could've been talked about. So many more.

Thank you!

Excellent video, thanks for uploading it.

One of the worst examples of someone being awarded The Medal of Honor was Douglas McArthur. He did nothing above and beyond the call of duty. He was given the Medal, because Roosevelt ordered him to leave the Philippines.

God Bless America!

Peter Collier: Those who received the MEDAL did not "WIN the MEDAL", they "EARNED" or were "AWARDED" the MEDAL. I knew 3, Lt. Governor Nathan Gordon, Lt. Governor Maurice "Footsie" Britt, & Nicky Bacon. All 3 from Arkansas. They were the most quiet, humble, servants, yet also giants among man; men of high integrity, whom I am highly honored to have met in my life. Although they all 3 denied it, they really were heroes, who like all combat veterans, saved lives, by just doing their job. But these, they have just a little bit of extra strength, given by the LORD GOD YHWH which they used, to save even more lives & stop the oppression by the enemy who attempted to destroy freedom. These wonderful men were, when the need arose, became giants of men, REAL men. Those passed, "Sir, may the LORD GOD YHWH give your soul & spirit eternal rest!"

You. Have to be shape but USMC. Traing. Is hard but you have tobein shape. And have herts

It’s the one medal that no man ever wants to have to earn, because I’m doing so, it likely means either you or your brothers in arms will die in the process. I’m absolutely no hero, just a guy that deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. These men represent what it means to be an American and honor the spirit of the men at Fort Henry that risked their lives under heavy British cannon fire that held up the rampart that the flag was on top so it wouldn’t hit the ground. The spirit of those men inspired the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key.

Every interview ive watched of MOH recipients everyone of them stated they didnt think they deserved it, but they accepted it and wore it for the men who died and also who they served with. So for Teddy Roosevelt to demand he be given one makes him look like a grade A douchewad in my eyes.

And that is so sad

How many of them received medals

Could you please turn on the clothes Captain as I'm done up and I cannot hear it

Versace probably was captured because the Vietnamese he was advising ran away at the first contact with the enemy. A fellow army officer and MACV advisor told me that he never carried a firearm when on an operation because when the shooting started, he could take his pick of any weapon he wanted because the coward Vietnamese would throw down their weapons and run away. I spent thirty months over there and some of the close calls for me were caused by our supposed south Vietnamese ally.

Should have told the story of Teddy junior

Damn, rescinded 900 medals? I think I would have just created a new type of medal or just left those alone and moved forward with a different definition.

Who’s the man at 1:35

Theres no EQUAL OR WORDS HEROS ALL .

As far as the war in the middle east, vietnam, cold war... A politician does not have the right to give that order.. The only being that has that right- is god himself.. Earth- we as people are forced into things that we don't belong in.. It's an average of an 80 year life span down here.. Getting involved in war games is just plain ridiculous. As people, we should be helping others as much as we can, serving god.. People on the planet are just trying to get by with medical-dental enough salary to put a roof over head and food on table... Retirement- the right to survival while on the planet.. We could all share in some luxery systems, but we are not getting anywhere..

At 1:05... Bill Clinton proved that.

Whag i dont get is nowa days people get medal of honor for just leaving there men
