Well said.

Today, March 25th, is National Medal of Honor Day; a day to reflect on the extraordinary , , and of those who have received our nation’s highest decoration. I count myself incredibly fortunate to live in a country where such exists, even more so to personally know a few of these remarkable men, and to work in a profession that allows me to support them.

Each recipient I’ve met shares the same sentiment: They didn’t do anything special, they just did what the job and the uniform required. They did what any of their brothers would have done.

But we know better.

Their acts of heroism, often performed in the most harrowing moments, are the very definition of selflessness. And yet, without exception, every single recipient will tell you the same thing, they do not wear the medal for themselves. They wear it for those who never made it home.

Established in 1861, the Medal of Honor has been awarded to just over 3,500 individuals, with only 61 alive today. These recipients come from all walks of life-junior enlisted, junior officers, high-ranking officials, each thrust into the spotlight with no preparation for what this medal would mean. And yet, every single one finds a way to continue serving, to honor the fallen, and to inspire future generations.

We at Post 300 are especially proud that The American Legion, an organization we are honored to volunteer with, hosts the Annual Medal of Honor Inaugural Ball; ensuring that these heroes are recognized, supported, and celebrated.

The men who wear this medal are humble, kind, and unassuming. They do not seek recognition, but they do seek to make a difference. They continue to engage with our military community, encouraging those still in uniform to lead, to serve, and to always strive for something greater.

May God continue to bless these men, and may God continue to bless America.

Say a prayer for these men and all our military personnel.

Today we honor the 4 Chaplains who gave their lives
while saving others during the sinking of the USS Dorchester in 1943. The chaplains were from different religious backgrounds, and their actions are considered an example of unity and selflessness.
