One Medal of Honor. Three distinct designs.

The Medal of Honor has separate versions for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with the Navy Medal also honoring recipients from the Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

Each design reflects the history and traditions of its respective service, but all three carry the same profound significance. As our nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor recognizes extraordinary acts of valor and represents a legacy rooted in courage, sacrifice, commitment, and service to others.

Understanding the history behind the Medal helps preserve the stories and values it represents for generations to come.

Some symbols carry meaning far beyond what we see. They can become a source of pride, purpose, and strength when people need it most.

For Colonel Harvey C. “Barney” Barnum Jr., the American flag was one of those symbols. While serving in Vietnam, he made a point to keep it flying, knowing what it represented to him and to those around him. It became a visible source of motivation and a reminder of the shared purpose that helped them keep moving forward.

His reflection speaks to an important part of leadership: giving people something meaningful to believe in, stand behind, and carry with them through difficult moments.

Today we honor Medal of Honor Recipient Allen James Lynch on his birthday.

During combat in Vietnam, U.S. Army Specialist Fourth Class Lynch repeatedly crossed exposed ground under heavy enemy fire to reach wounded soldiers and carry them to safety. When his unit was forced to withdraw, he remained behind with the wounded, defending their position until help arrived.

His actions reflect courage, selflessness, and a deep sense of responsibility to those around him, qualities that continue to shape what it means to lead with character.

On National First Responders Day, we honor the men and women who answer the call to serve, often in moments when their communities need them most. Their courage, responsibility, and commitment to others reflect the character at the heart of meaningful leadership.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work with first responders through programs like The Leader’s Journey and to support those who dedicate themselves to protecting and caring for others.

Today we honor Medal of Honor Recipient Gary Lee Littrell on his birthday.

During four days of intense combat in Vietnam, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Gary Lee Littrell helped hold together a besieged battalion after its commander was killed and other advisers were wounded. He repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire to direct artillery and air support, redistribute am******on, care for the wounded, and encourage those around him.

His actions reflect leadership grounded in courage, resilience, and responsibility to others, even under the most difficult circumstances.

Integrity is often tested when no one is watching, when the easier choice and the right choice are not the same. Medal of Honor Recipient Robert M. Patterson’s words remind us that character is built through the standards we refuse to compromise. This month, as we focus on integrity, we are reminded that strong leadership begins with doing what is right, consistently and without exception.

Rivalry can inspire excellence, but leadership is measured by what we carry beyond the competition.

This December, Worthy Rivals: Leadership Beyond the Field returns on the eve of the Army-Navy game for a meaningful conversation with Medal of Honor Recipients and other distinguished leaders about the values that shape how we lead, serve, and respond when the stakes are high.

The event looks beyond the scoreboard to the principles that endure: courage, integrity, commitment, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism. These values influence how leaders make decisions, support others, and remain grounded in purpose when the path forward is difficult.

At its heart, Worthy Rivals is about more than tradition. It is about using the lessons of service and character to help develop leaders who are prepared to strengthen their teams, communities, and country.

Join us in carrying that mission forward.

Today we honor the birthdays of two Medal of Honor Recipients whose actions reflect extraordinary courage and commitment to others.

During four days of intense combat in Vietnam, U.S. Army Special Forces medic Gary Michael Rose repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire to treat and evacuate wounded soldiers. Despite suffering multiple injuries himself, he continued providing lifesaving care and helped save numerous lives.

While serving with the U.S. Marine Corps in Afghanistan, Kyle Carpenter moved toward an enemy gr***de in an effort to shield a fellow Marine from the blast. He was severely wounded, but his actions saved his fellow Marine’s life.

Their stories remind us that leadership is often revealed through selfless choices made in moments of extraordinary consequence. Today, we honor their birthdays and the examples of character they continue to provide.
