<p>The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest military award. It is given for bravery in combat that goes far above and beyond the call of duty – those acts of heroism and courage that save lives despite impossible risk.</p> <p>This podcast is about those heroes. What they did. What it meant. And what their stories tell us about the nature of sacrifice – and about ourselves.</p> <p>In our first season, you’ll hear stories about Medal of Honor recipients from the Civil War to the Iraq War. We’ll think about what makes a hero, why people put their lives in danger for others, the true nature of sacrifice, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.</p> <p>Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton.</p>

Today marks one hundred and sixty two years since the very first medal of honor was ever awarded to Jacob Wilson Parrott, a private from the 33rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry’s Company K. <br><br>We are celebrating the day by thinking back on some of the incredible heroes we covered in our last season. We will continue to tell those stories in our second season coming up in May. <br><br>In the meantime, we also want to hear from you! Send us your personal story of courage, or highlight someone else’s bravery. </p> <p>You might hear your stories on future episodes of Medal of Honor, or see them on our social channels.

<p>John Chapman is the first member of the Air Force to receive the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. John’s story takes us to a freezing, snowy mountain range in Afghanistan on March 4th, 2002, where he deployed with SEAL Team 6 during Operation Anaconda. His bravery in the pre-dawn hours that day teaches us something vital about heroism: It means being willing to risk everything… even if no one can see you do it.<br><br>Special thanks to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the Defense Visual Information Distributions Service.<br><br>The appearance of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
