This blog is part of a weekly series called “Medal of Honor Monday,” in which we’ll highlight one of the nearly 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients who have earned the honor of wearing the U.S. military’s highest medal for valor.
Up until 2004, a Marine had not received the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. But that changed when 22-year-old Cpl. Jason Dunham gave his life for his country and fellow Marines during the Iraq War.
