Congressional Medal of Honor: Perpetuating a Legacy of Courage, Sacrifice, and Patriotism

Drawing on the thoughts and voices of several Medal of Honor recipients and CMOH Foundation board members, this video introduces the mission and initiatives of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. Beyond supporting the Medal of Honor recipients and their exclusive Society, the CMOH Foundation is dedicated to educating the broader U.S. public about the meaning of the Medal of Honor today, and the exemplary values of courage, sacrifice, selfless service and patriotism embodied by those who have received this prestigious Medal.

@obamasucksdick99 Cool story. if a woman gets run over, whose fault is it, its the mans, because he was driving in the kitchen.

[obamasucksdick99]

@afrue987 you see! i knew it all along! your just some sexist pig! >:-(

[afrue987]

@obamasucksdick99 Women belong in the kitchen.

@WirePalidan its very sexist, and it doesnt give woman candidates enough fairness! things are all soooo sexist in america. i wish i lived somewhere else like russia where they respect women

[WirePalidan]

@obamasucksdick99 So your saying that because there hasn't been a female president since women actually began having elected positions in the American Government, that the election process is sexist?

[obamasucksdick99]

@WirePalidan but no women, so its obvious sexist

[WirePalidan]

@obamasucksdick99 Yes Only ONE woman was good enough but from statistics alone shes lucky to have it considering the following: over 16.1 Million Men served in World War II, 464 were awarded the Medal of Honor, which means approximately 29 HUNDRED MILLIONTHS or 2.9*10^ -5 of those who served got it.

[obamasucksdick99]

@WirePalidan so your saying that out of 3456 people only ONE woman was good enough to get it? thats absolutely sexist and you should be ashamed! women do just as much as men in the military and they should be given equal rights. its because of sexist people like you that women dont get their proper recognition

[WirePalidan]

@obamasucksdick99 Only one Got it Because only one has met the qualifications, and she is long dead, as are most of the Men who obtained the award, plus most of these veterans are from WWII or Korea Or Even Vietnam, all of which Employed the draft which Pumped Enough brave men into War to Produce a Handful of Medal of Honor Winners, most of which died in the process, the only sexism here is against men because only they can be drafted.
