To all the brilliant women that are leading our Medical Research, on behalf of the Disabled American Veterans, and grateful Veterans nationwide, we thank you!

National Medal of Honor Day

Today, on the anniversary of the awarding of the first Medals of Honor, we celebrate the courage, sacrifice, and patriotism which connect all recipients of the medal.

Semper Fidelis.
