Medal of Honor Recipients Speak Out!

Veterans Report

While rising reports of military suicides sweep the headlines, a group of 91 of America's Medal of Honor recipients are urging servicemembers to seek help before it's too late. A public service effort, called Medal of Honor--Speak Out! launched on Armed Forces Day. The campaign features nearly 30 video testimonials by recipients who survived the most harrowing experiences in battle, including severe physical wounds as well as emotional trauma. Don't let the enemy defeat you at home -- make use of the resources available today for combat stress. You are invited to download and share these resources with Servicemembers and their families.

The Congressinal Medal of Honor Society is chartered by Congress, and regarded as the most exclusive organization in our country, as its membership is solely made up of living Medal of Honor recipients. Today there are less than 100 members, who came from all social classes, race and economic levels. They range in age from 58 to 99, and live in all areas of our Country. No amount of money, power or influence can buy one's rite of passage to this exclusive circle, and unlike almost any other organization, this group's members hope that there will be no more inductees.
