Medal of Honor Recipients continue to serve by connecting with their communities, veterans, and youth. These groups are welcome to reach out to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society headquarters when looking to connect with a Recipient. Whether it is a letter or e-mail, an invitation to an event, or a simple question, there are multiple ways to reach out. The Society will pass along any correspondence to the Recipients and answer any questions you may have about the Medal of Honor itself.
If writing by mail, please place your correspondence in an envelope with sufficient postage, a return address and the name of the Recipient you wish to contact. Then, please place that mailing in a second envelope, and address it to:
Congressional Medal of Honor Society
40 Patriots Point Road
Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
The Medal of Honor and its Recipients inspire awe. Meeting a Recipient in person or hearing a Recipient speak makes a lasting impact.
The Outreach Program pairs Medal of Honor Recipients with military, veteran, and community groups that embrace the values of the Medal of Honor: Courage, Integrity, Commitment, Sacrifice, Citizenship and Patriotism. It is one of many ways that Recipients fulfill the Society’s mission of promoting the legacy of the Medal of Honor and championing the values.
Through in-person and virtual events, Recipients share their unique insights on character, leadership, patriotism, integrity, resiliency, and adjustment to civilian life. While not trained clinicians, they use their personal experiences to engage through motivation, inspiration, and mentorship.
Corporate entities, including veteran resource groups, will be referred to the Medal of Honor Foundation.
All invitations to Medal of Honor Recipients need to include the who, what, where and why of the event. Use our form to extend an invitation.
