a FM, and Liz was very excited because on Wednesday,
Liz was off to the US that night. But Liz
was left hanging was feeling a little nervous because her visa,
because her visa hadn't come through. Liz had been selected
for let's say, some further investigation, further review, and Liz
(00:24):
was quietly freaking out that US customs. Maybe the CIA
had been going through her Instagram account and found those
pictures of Baby jd vance art work that Liz was
putting on the head of Guinness classes of Guinness at
the bar. Maybe they didn't see the humor. I think
we have Liz on the line from the US. Now

it was so easy, and it made Australia look like

just freezed through.

it was to get a visa here. They didn't give
you any evil look.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, 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. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
