Medal of Honor Foundation

About The Foundation

NOW MORE THAN EVER, OUR NATION NEEDS HEROES.

There is a substantial gap between the values Americans see as important and how they believe those same values are taught and lived in society today, according to a new poll commissioned by the Medal of Honor Foundation.

The survey, conducted by Ipsos, a global research company, showed that Americans believe that one of the biggest challenges to today’s youth being able to learn values is not having enough exposure to the right kind of role models.

Overall, the poll results clearly show a need to regain schools’ prominence in values education, by providing programs, educational experiences, and role models for students.

These are all areas that Medal of Honor Recipients have been delivering since the Congressional Medal of Honor Society was founded in 1958 by Congress with outreach, education and preservation programs, including the Congressional Medal of Honor Character Development ProgramMedal of Honor MuseumCongressional Medal of Honor Outreach Programs, and the annual Congressional Medal of Honor Citizen Honors Awards for Valor and Service.

Join us in supporting the work of Medal of Honor Recipients to carry out its mission of inspiring today’s youth.

When you support the Medal of Honor Foundation, you’re supporting Medal of Honor Recipients’ efforts to share vital lessons of Courage, Integrity, Commitment, Sacrifice, Citizenship, and Patriotism. Together, we can make values and character a priority for Americans once more.
