The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.

This medal is for the men who went down that day.

It's for the families of those who didn't make it.

Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.

On Medal of Honor, stories of courage, you'll hear about

these heroes and what their stories tell us about the nature of bravery. Listen to Medal of Honor

Sean will tell us about that in a minute.
