2012 Medal of Honor

Every day in this country, ordinary Americans become extraordinary. It can happen in an instance of bravery or through a lifetime of placing others before themselves. These acts of courage and selflessness would inspire us all, if only we knew about them. Now, the time has come to stand up and celebrate, in our cities and in our towns, the selfless heroism that symbolizes the American spirit.

Every year, in conjunction with the National Medal of Honor Day, three United States citizens will be awarded Citizen Service Before Self Honors near the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Cemetery. They will receive this award from a group of Americans whose actions have defined the word courage – the members of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society who have received our nation’s highest and most prestigious award for valor, the Medal of Honor. The living Medal recipients of this exclusive Society now number fewer than 90.

Please help our nation’s greatest heroes find America’s unsung heroes. Nominate a Honoree today!

Nominations are due no later than Friday, February 10, 2012.
