Every time I go to school I see a trophy case and in the case there is a trophy that has the word valor. This trophy was for the best player of basketball for the excellence of scoring points in a game. I never understood that word until one of my teachers were talking about it. Later then, I finally understood the meaning of the word which means, a comrade that sarcifices himself for a person or people from a grenade. Everytime I pass by this medal it makes me think how many soldiers sarcificed themselves to save other people.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest honor for an American to receive in the United States of America. This medal of Honor is so high that the President of the United States has to slaute to the Soldier that won the medal. When a soldier has received a Medal of Honor he or she gets a lot of respect from other soldiers or regular people. Every person to receive the medal of honor they seem to be heros to others that will do anything for respect.
This is one of the medals that is very hard to receive just like that. It takes lots of courage, loyalty, and duty to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. One of things that it takes to get it is you risk your life to save others in the war. The soldiers that receive this medal of honor goes beyond call of duty or stands up to fear and puts his/her body on the line.
"Sometimes I think it was easier winning Congressional Medal of Honor than it is to wear it."
Recipiants that wear this medal have said this quote. To be this is just to put more attention to yourself then it should just be. The person that won this medal is just a medal and that people shouldn't make a big deal of it. But it is also a way to say thank you for your service in the military we thank you very much.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is awarded and worn to the bravest people in the United States.
