stuff down this rickety ladder to me and he hands
me a bin about this big, you know, like a
normal rubber maide size bin. So I try to balance
it on my left shoulder as I go down the
whole of the attic like back down into the garage,
and stupid me is wearing crocs to do this, and
I lost my footing while trying to balance on the ladder,
(01:51):
fell off the top of the ladder on thank god,
not onto the garage floor. But Wes's jeep hardtop was
right there, so I fell.

right on my forehead and busted my forehead open. And

there was so much blood. My dad was like, it
was coming.

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.
