Seventy-five OCS commissioned officers are recipients of the Medal of Honor, “the United States’ highest award for military valor in action. And while over 150 years have passed since its inception, the meaning behind the Medal has never tarnished. Etched within are the very values that each recipient displayed in the moments that mattered—bravery, courage, sacrifice, integrity. A deep love of country and a desire to always do what is right.” [Credit: Congressional Medal of Honor Society]
