Medal of Honor (2018 )

Medal of Honor (2018 ) The Medal of Honor is the military's highest award for valor, and it has been bestowed upon just a few thousand Americans since President Abraham Lincoln signed it into law in 1861. "Medal of Honor" profiles some of the select few who have received the medal, with family members and brothers-in-arms recalling the extraordinary odds the servicemen faced. Viewers get inside the recipients' minds -- through intense re-creations and archival footage -- to uncover how they handled what many have described as "the worst day of their lives." The men profiled include World War II veteran Sylvester Antolak and Joseph Vittori, who fought in the Korean War.
