In the transformative moments of our lives, we can choose to avoid the threat, meet the need, or serve above and beyond. We are grateful that the Medal of Honor Recipients continue the mission of selflessly serving above and beyond the call of duty. In recognition of Giving Tuesday, we want to honor the Recipients’ sustained sacrifice and service.  

The Congressional Medal of Honor Society has five critical mission objectives: educate, connect, inspire, preserve, and support. These initiatives create the blueprint for the ways in which Recipients help others across the nation. Now more than ever your support is needed to continue the work of the Recipients… and you can make the difference to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, today.  

This GivingTuesday Honor the Sacrifice; Inspire the Future  

Medal of Honor Recipients displayed courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism, and citizenship during times of great trial and hardship, and they use their experiences to not only inspire the next generation of leaders but to teach them how to embody these values in their own lives as well.  

On this GivingTuesday, you can continue this work by supporting the critical programs and resources provided by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.  

Veterans Outreach Program 

The transition to civilian life presents new challenges for Veterans as they return home. Through this program, Medal of Honor Recipients connect with Veterans and active military service members to address wellness and resiliency issues.  

Recipients Outreach Program  

The Recipients Outreach Program allows Recipients to be speakers and panelists at events that cover topics such as leadership, character-building, patriotism, legacy, and integrity.  

Character Development Program 

The Character Development Program’s educational resources are available at no cost to educators, parents, youth leaders, and other individuals who work with students in both academic and leadership settings. These elementary and secondary lessons were created by teachers, for teachers to educate students about the values of the Medal of Honor so that they can live out these characteristics in their daily lives.  

Historical Archives  

The Society’s archives contain records of every Medal of Honor Recipient, dating back to 1861. You can view a digital record of these archives on our website, and you can learn more about the Medal of Honor at The Medal of Honor Museum in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
