“As a dev advocate, I wake up and I'm like, ‘I don't know what I'm going to do after I finish brushing my teeth,’ but it's going to be something quite sick. So, usually it's that discovery phase of either finishing off a video, a blog post, or a slide deck. Or reaching out to teams within my company being like, ‘You guys make really cool integrations. Is there any that are coming out next week that I can make stuff about?’” – Munnawar Hashim

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.
