    Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration.

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.
