The Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation was chartered by Recipients in 1999.
The Foundation is a nonprofi t organization dedicated to perpetuating the Medal of
Honor's legacy through awareness, outreach, and education.
The Foundation strives through its programs and initiatives, and the personal
contributions of the Recipients in communities across America, to promote the
behaviors and values shared by servicemen and Recipients.
Today the number of living Medal of Honor Recipients is at its lowest point in history. And
the Foundation faces a tough challenge, maintaining a heritage that is quickly vanishing.
While each of the Recipients is quick to point out that, since the Medal can only be
received for war-time heroism, they hope that there will be no new Recipients, we as
Americans are rapidly losing some of our greatest heroes and role models.
The New York Times bestseller, "Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond The Call
of Duty" (2011), captures many stories of the Recipients. And living history videos
can be found on the Foundation website. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving
their memory and inspiring generations of Americans young and old. But more must
be done.
