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 U.S. military’s highest medal for valor.
In honor of the Coast Guard’s birthday last week, we thought it would be fitting to highlight the Coast Guard’s only Medal of Honor recipient – Signalman 1st Class Douglas Munro.
