Medal of Honor

Postby Haggis@wk » Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:28 pm

Today is National Medal of Honor Day. The United States Congress has designated March 25th of each year as NATIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR DAY, a day dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients. (Public Law 101-564) March 25th was selected as the date because it is the date of the first presentation of the award 156 years ago. I'm sure your local newpapers informed you of this.

Jack Lucas passed away last Thursday, 7 May.

Then, as he had promised his mother years before, he went back to school—a ninth grader wearing the Medal of Honor around his neck.
