The Medal of Honor is an award that stands apart in American culture. Not only does it represent the highest degree of bravery and heroism, but it reflects the highest ideals that one can aspire to.
In this episode, we are visiting the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee to explore the rich history of the Medal of Honor. This is a place like no other. Here, you can see the Medal of Honor that was awarded to Desmond Doss (the hero of Hacksaw Ridge) plus many others. This place is a must see!!! Enjoy!

Jack Lucas (WWII) was the youngest recipient since the Civil War. He was a Marine who lied about his age. He placed his body on two enemy grenades at Iwo Jima and miraculously survived.

The youngest recipient ever was William “Willie” Johnston, who earned the Medal during the Civil War just prior to his 12th birthday and received his award 6 weeks after his 13th. Another note: Theodore Roosevelt DID receive the Medal of Honor as well as 2 Presidents sons: Webb Cook Hayes (Philippine Insurrection) and, of course, Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. Yes, I am a history buff.

That is really cool to meet such a hero. I haven't met one, but I did buy a used book at the library about the Medal of Honor. I was thrilled to find that a recipient had signed it. I could also date the signature because there was information still inside the book about the corporate event where it was signed.

If you haven’t read it, I recommend reading the book that the movie is based off of. Mel Gibson didn’t even tell all of Doss’s story in the movie because he was afraid people wouldn’t believe all of it. Keep it up with the great content!

Fun Fact: My grandfather, Christos Karaberis (Chris Carr), was standing next to Desmond Doss when they were both awarded the CMOH by President Truman. I have some amazing photos of that day that have been handed down to me. He can also be seen in the actual footage of that day that is shown at the end of the movie Hacksaw Ridge. We donated my grandfathers medals, uniform, and various other artifacts to the Lyon Museum in Orange County, CA. We have a great display featuring him and his 3 brothers who all served during WWII. This museum looks amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!

In one of the previous comments, we started discussing Canada's connections to the Medal of Honor. There are 50 Medal of Honor recipients who were born in Canada, including 7 who are buried there. Canadian Robert Sweeny is one of 19 recipients who received the Medal of Honor twice (1881 and 1883, both for rescuing drowning shipmates). So much great history!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I had a high school acquaintance awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for saving lives by jumping on a grenade in Vietnam. I had no idea this happened until a few years ago when I looked up to see who had died in Vietnam from my high school. It's sad how soon we would forget those who served and died if not for places like this and people like you. Thank you. I wonder if you could in the future when visiting places like this, take a screen shot of some the information posted so we can read them by freezing the video. It wouldn't lengthen the video much but would allow us the opportunity to "fill in the blanks" of some of the history you're showing. As much as I would love to visit places like this and read them in person, it's just not possible at this time of my life. Thanks.

11:25, that soldier has a British No.I Mk.III service rifle. I wonder what the story behind that is as it wasn't on issue to US soldiers as far as I'm aware. That must be a fascinating place to visit and spend time in. I have a book that tells the story of many Medal of Honor recipients. Nearly all said they were just doing what had to be done at the time and they wear the medal to honour those who didn't come home. Truly heroes, every one of them. Thank you for taking me to such a fascinating place.

That is an awesome museum! I shed a tear when you showed the Medal of Honor for Desmond Doss. The last time I saw that medal it was around his neck. He was being honored on Memorial Day at the camp meeting of the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists around 2002. My son was a history major at college at the time and had a special interest in WWII history. My son got a chance to speak with Mr. Doss, have his picture taken with him, and had him sign a copy of The Conscientious Objector. Mr. Doss and his wife were so gracious to take time with my son, and I took pictures. He was such a humble man and I will never forget meeting him. By the way, my son's favorite president is also Teddy Roosevelt! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and am going to recommend them to several of my friends and relatives.

Fantastic episode. All those stories. Really great place to see someday. Desmond's story is incredible. Movie was well done. Why it took so long to be done is a mystery.

Another reason to go, my best army buddy lives in Chatt. What a great center and tribute to these brave people. Thanks for the intro and tour! Look forward to your amazing video in New year! I cannot believe the courage it takes to go into a place like Okinawa unarmed as a medic. Just beyond words really.

Hi sir. I'm form the Philippines and I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing us to these inspiring places! Of all your episodes I've watched, this is by far the one that hit me the most. Please continue what you're doing and again sir, much appreciated. Sorry that I lack the ability for research but I can't seem to find what you're name is. God bless

Looking forward, when I return to my home state of TN, to visiting the new National Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga. Presently working in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and will return to TN following this 10-year working detour to assist with the development of the first peaceful nuclear power program in the UAE.

I didn’t want this video to end. I’m just in awe. So unbelievable so much to see n learn. If not for you giving of your time n going to all these wonderful n amazing places I wouldn’t know what I know now n how much I appreciate what our history should mean to all of us. JD I have a lot of Utube channels that I watch but sweetie you rank my top #1 on all of them. I’ll never get caught u at watching all of your videos but that’s ok with me as long as you continue doing what your doing. Your amazing n thank you. Maybe just maybe I’ll get to Chattanooga Tennessee n spend hours n hours seeing this museum. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍
