Commit to Courage: Medal of Honor Special (2009)


The Medal of Honor is America's highest military award for valor in combat against an enemy force. It is reserved for those moments after the outcome has already been determined, after any observer would have considered the battle lost. The Medal of Honor is earned by ordinary men who refused to accept that history was already written. And in a moment of supreme courage, those men became extraordinary. "The Pritzker Military Library Presents: Medal of Honor: Commit to Courage" takes a look back at some of the finest moments from the first five years of Medal of Honor with Ed Tracy.
