The Recipients
A Living Legacy
Since the Medal of Honor was established in 1861, just over 3,500 individuals have received our nation’s highest military decoration. Today, there are 64 living Medal of Honor Recipients. Their examples inspire our mission, and their lived experiences form the foundation of the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership’s work. We are deeply honored that some of these extraordinary individuals are actively involved with the Center – as members of our Board of Directors and Legacy Board, and as guest trainers who help shape and deliver our leadership education programs.
