Integrity, the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, is held to high regard at the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. As one of the core values of the Medal of Honor, integrity is seen as a highly admirable trait that those of strong character embody; each of our Medal of Honor Recipients has demonstrated this value in their actions. It is equally important for all United States citizens to uphold this core value.
.
Here are a few ways you can demonstrate integrity in your life.
.
Demonstrating integrity regularly means building honesty into your everyday routine. Practicing honesty is not always easy, especially in situations where you may be at fault. Living the value of integrity requires holding yourself accountable, accepting responsibility, and facing the consequences of your actions.
.
Those who embody integrity show the utmost respect to everyone around them. Race, age, social status, political beliefs, or your relationship to an individual should not determine the level of respect they are given. Demonstrating integrity requires you to treat all members of our society as equals regardless of differences.
Those who embody the core value of integrity put others before themselves and volunteer to help whenever they can. This may be as simple as helping a new mother carry groceries to her car, or as complex as organizing a food drive for your community. The act of volunteering is the embodiment of selflessness, a strong moral principle that demonstrates integrity.
.
To the same extent that they show others respect, those with strong integrity also strive to raise others up. Practicing integrity means you should be understanding and encourage others to become better versions of themselves. This genuine act of support shows strong character and is a simple way for you to demonstrate integrity in your daily actions.
