The Medal of Honor is a proud American tradition

“For Memorial Day, I wanted to honor those who have served, fought and died for our country.

This is why I devoted an episode of my “Newt’s World” podcast to some of the bravest Americans who ever served in our armed forces.

The episode focuses on the stories behind the courageous members of the military who have received the Medal of Honor – the highest U.S. military decoration.

The Medal of Honor tradition came out of the U.S. Civil War, and it is awarded by Congress to certain members of the military for gallantry and bravery in combat.”
