Product Description

The story of the Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. award for valor in combat, is told through personal accounts of bravery and daring. The medal is presented to individuals for service above and beyond the call of duty. Most have been awarded posthumously, yet in this film 13 living recipients tell their stories. This documentary transports audiences to the battlegrounds of Little Round Top, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq.

Customer Reviews

Unanimous praise -- amazing reviews5
This film received amazing reviews. I am the filmmaker, and these are really reviews:

...An astounding array of stories about an unbelievable collection of unexpected heroes. ...This special is ...so awe-inspiring ...that, if I could, I would award it four Medals of Honor. It is that good and that honest. ...Do yourself a favor. ...All in all, there won't be anything else more worth your while on TV that night. I checked.Don't miss it. New York Post

"Medal of Honor" ...is that rare thing -- a film shot through with the most emotional of themes that succeeds in rendering portraits of unimaginable heroism with discipline and dignity. ...Along with story after story of heroic enterprise, accompanied by relevant, splendid footage, this film ...provides a hard-minded account of the medal's history. Wall Street Journal

Sherman's film arrives as an antidote for spiritual cynicism, a bracing potion that serves not merely to treat our Election Day hangover, but to remind us why so many continue to believe in American exceptionalism. Tampa Tribune

A breathtaking look at a rare breed. TV Week

Yes, there's a lot of junk on TV. But the medium can also rise to the occasion quite beautifully. ...The richly drawn stories will stay with you for a long time after you turn off the set. MSNBC
