Every branch of the United States military uses medals to recognize and honor the achievements and sacrifices of its service members, and there is no medal more prestigious than the Medal of Honor. Awarded to service members for acts of bravery “above and beyond the call of duty,” the Medal of Honor is how our country shows its appreciation for the most exceptional heroes of our military.
Join us at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library on Saturday, May 27th at 10:30 am to celebrate the heroes who have earned Medals of Honor, as well as the heroes in your own life. Together, we will look at a real-life Medal of Honor and learn more about the history of this important award. After that, we will create special medals to show our appreciation for heroes in our own lives.
