Medal of Honor

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Today is the 150th anniversary of the Nation’s highest military decoration.  It is an occasion for thanking anew all those who have received this tribute – many of whom gave their lives in the process of earning the Congressional Medal of Honor. Invariably, Medal of Honorees think of themselves, as one has put it, as “stewards” of this award for comrades who are unacknowledged fallen heroes. Unfortunately, it is surely the case that more such warriors will earn this distinction in the future, at great personal risk and cost.  It behooves us to minimize their terrible sacrifices by remaining as a nation vigilant and strong enough to deter wars, and to prevail whenever they must be fought.   Happy Birthday to the Congressional Medal of Honor and to all those who have earned it!
