The Medal of Honor is the highest award for bravery that can be given to any individual in the United States.

In judging men for receipt of the medal, each service has established its own regulations. The deed must be proved by incontestable evidence of at least two eyewitnesses; it must be so outstanding that it clearly distinguishes the recipient's gallantry beyond the call of duty from lesser forms of bravery; it must involve the risk of his life; and it must be the type of deed which, if he had not done it, would not subject him to any justified criticism.

Just want to remind all anons of the valor and bravery that resides in each one of us. Never give up. Guts hanging out of your center on your .50cal? Keep firing, that’s just good lubricant.

We are faceless, fameless and fearless.

I’m only going to post 3-4 per bread. Don’t want to spam the joint up. I will ultimately post all USMC MOH recipients. The citations get much more detailed around WWI.

These men’s actions were amazing. Some bring me to tears. And no, you don’t want to see my tits. They are hairy.
