Today is Sergeant Gary M. Rose’s birthday! Rose earned the #MedalofHonor for his actions as a medic in the Vietnam War. He exposed himself to enemy fire on several occasions to render aid to wounded soldiers. Despite being wounded, over the course of several days he continued to provide aid to his fellow soldiers, including life-saving aid to a wounded Marine on his evacuation helicopter. When the helicopter was shot down, he pulled the other passengers from the wreck and provided aid until another helicopter arrived. https://lnkd.in/gYuVgcAV

On a Mission to Inspire America
About us
The museum will offer an experience that draws personal and emotional connections to Medal of Honor recipients and their stories, while shedding light on the wars in which they fought and the ideals that the Medal of Honor represents. Visitors will come to understand the meaning and price of freedom—and appreciate the virtue of putting service above self. The National Medal of Honor Museum will also include an education center aimed at character development in our nation’s youth. A critical part of our mission will be to use the stories of our Medal of Honor recipients to inspire young people, and motivate them to be their best selves. In concert with the Medal of Honor Society, the National Medal of Honor Museum—at the museum itself and virtually—will include a robust educational component aimed at youth character development. Designed by teachers, the Character Development Program will provide students with opportunities to explore the concepts of courage, patriotism, sacrifice, integrity and humility, and how these values can be exemplified in daily life.

Check out the latest in the graphic novel series by the Association of the United States Army, featuring #MOH Recipient Charles Whittlesey. Whittlesey commanded the famed Lost Battalion of World War I. On October 2, 1918, he led over 500 men in an advance against the German line during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. In the face of superior numbers, they were surrounded by the enemy and cut off from their division. Whittlesey overcame the lack of supplies and mounting casualties to hold out for five days before reinforcements finally arrived.
