Congressional Medal of Honor



Congressional Medal of Honor


Do you know what id the Congressional Medal of Honor? A Congressional Medal of Honor basically is an award for those who have risked their life’s to save others, and to thank them for their bravery, and their courage.

For me the Congressional Medal of Honor means the highest honor of an American. It would mean a high honor/award, higher than the president. It means to get the respect that they deserve and to always carry, and it might actually mean something more; it would mean that they are a loving hero.

I think it takes a lot of courage to be awarded for the Congressional Medal of Honor. Courage would be one good reason for receiving the Medal of Honor for risking their life to help and save other soldiers. This also includes a lot of hope for them, and they were able to stand up for their fears.

The statement ”Sometimes, I think it was easier winning the Medal of Honor, then it is to wear it ”. I think it would mean that I was just doing what I was suppost to be doing, and it all happened so quickly that I never would have thought of receiving a high honor for what I did. And since now you have the prize which is the Congressional Medal of Honor that its difficult to just wear it, because risking my life, wasn’t easy. So in this case wearing it wouldn’t make it any easier.

In conclusion I think that those who have done something special for others, deserve this medal of honor, because there’s not a lot of people out there like them, and that’s why we thank them with an award.

Thank You Letter

Dear Corporal Tibor Rubin

Hi, my name is Daisy Martinez I've been living in Chicago ,Illinois all my life and I now attend at Farragut High School. Well, I just wanted to thank you for all of your courage and bravery that youcarried while at battle. You were one of the good soldiers that had the heart to help other people to fight for their lifes. The fact that you were captured by Chinese and beaten up, makes me want to admire you because, after the bad moments you went through during that period time you got back on your feet and fought hard to get everything back together. Its just amazing how theres people that really care for other and their country and not just for themselves. I wish you good luck enjoying life.




Cincerely, Daisy Martinez
