We at the Congressional Medal of Honor Society are proud to partner once again with Military Times to highlight words of wisdom from Medal of Honor Recipients.
“The Honor Project: Reflections on Courage” video series features stories of inspiration from Medal of Honor Recipients, asking the Recipient to discuss the importance of courage in everyday life. These short videos will offer inspirational moments and challenge you to show courage in your own life.
This new video series is part of an ongoing partnership between CMOHS and Military Times. Our previous collaboration entitled Dear Young American asked Medal of Honor Recipients to offer their advice to the next generation. You can find all of these videos on our website or our YouTube channel. The Medal of Honor Character Development Program also developed a companion series of Dear Young American lessons which feature the videos and short activities. Each of these lessons can be completed in 20-30 minutes and, like all resources in the Character Development Program, can be downloaded for free on our website.
We encourage you to explore the new videos in the Reflections on Courage series, and we hope you always find inspiration in the words of Medal of Honor Recipients. View their individual videos by clicking their names below.

About the Congressional Medal of Honor Society
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor (the United States’ highest award for military valor in action) and its Recipients, inspiring Americans to live the values the Medal represents, and supporting Recipients as they connect with communities across America. Chartered by Congress in 1958, the Society’s membership consists exclusively of those individuals who have received the Medal of Honor.
The Society carries out its mission through outreach, education, and preservation programs, including the Medal of Honor Character Development Program, Citizen Honors Awards, and The Medal of Honor Museum. As part of Public Law 106-83, the Medal of the Honor Memorial Act, The Medal of Honor Museum, which is co-located with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s headquarters on board the U.S.S. Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, was designated as one of three national Medal of Honor sites.
The Society’s programs and operations are fully funded by generous donors.
