The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest military award. It is given for bravery in combat that goes far above and beyond the call of duty – those acts of heroism and courage that save lives despite impossible risk. This podcast is about those heroes. What they did. What it meant. And what their stories tell us about the nature of sacrifice – and about ourselves. In our first season, you’ll hear stories about Medal of Honor recipients from the Civil War to the Iraq War. We’ll think about what makes a hero, why people put their lives in danger for others, the true nature of sacrifice, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton.

This one really got to me. John Chapman got the episode and the MoH he deserved. Left behind at the top of a mountain, gutshot, engaging the enemy for an hour witnessed only by a predator, and left cover to suppress an RPG nest. Found shot in the heart with two rounds left. Legendary. I am in awe and disbelief. When I went to the Academy, nobody knew his name. I bet they do now.
Patriotism at its best

This podcast is so inspirational and very moving. It reminds us of the lengths some have gone to to preserve our freedom and safety. I think this should be required listening in schools.
There is no Congressional Medal of Honor

The Robert Bush episode recognizes the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. There is no such award. The Medal of Honor is approved by the President, not Congress.
