Presently, there are three variations of the Medal of Honor. Steeped with symbolism, the Medal has become a historic mark of our nation’s bravest. Out of respect for those who have earned it, its appearance has remained largely unaltered in over 150 years. Learn more about the three variations: https://lnkd.in/ewBhjwA6

BIG NEWS! Our new Medal of Honor Character Development Program resource is here! PATH TO HONOR encourages self-exploration of the six values embodied in the Medal of Honor: courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism. Students select a module focusing on one of the core values and trace the steps of Medal of Honor Recipients. As they hear stories in the Recipients’ own words, students decide what they would do in that moment, then hear the rest of the story and reflect on the values demonstrated, making real-life connections to character values.

It's Memorial Day! Do you know why we celebrate today? If not, here’s a quick lesson:

United we stand, divided we fall. Every time we think Blue States versus Red States, the terrorists who did this win. They tried to kill all of us. To make us afraid. We have nothing to fear but fear itself, is as true today as it was in WWII. No one can beat us but ourselves. Honor the memories of the fallen by becoming an informed citizen. Watch and listen to all sides. Think critically for yourself and decide based on what you determine to be true. You have to work at it. Freedom is not free. One hint, follow the money to figure out the real motivations. You might be surprised what you figure out. Being a good citizen takes more than one day a year. #democracymatters

On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower
