March 25th marks a day of reverence and respect in the United States – National Medal of Honor Day. On this day, we pay homage to the extraordinary courage, selflessness, and valor of those who have been bestowed with the nation’s highest military honor. It’s a day to commemorate the indomitable spirit of these heroes and to celebrate their bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms.

Commemorating Heroism

National Medal of Honor Day, observed annually on March 25th, traces its origins back to a congressional resolution signed by President George W. Bush in 1990. The resolution designated this day to honor the legacy and courage of those who have received the Medal of Honor, America’s highest military decoration.

The history of the Medal of Honor itself dates back to the Civil War when it was established by Congress in 1861. Initially created for the Navy, it later extended to the Army and Air Force. This prestigious medal recognizes individuals who have displayed exceptional acts of valor and bravery, often risking their lives above and beyond the call of duty in service to their country.

National Medal of Honor Day serves as a day of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for the sacrifices and extraordinary valor of these remarkable individuals. It’s an occasion to honor their unwavering commitment to protecting freedom and upholding the highest ideals of courage and sacrifice, ensuring that their acts of bravery are remembered and celebrated for generations to come.
