00:00:15,356 --> 00:00:24,716
Speaker 1: Pushkin. Hello, Hello everyone, Malcolm Glawell here. We're gearing up

2
00:00:24,756 --> 00:00:27,276
Speaker 1: for an all new season of Medal of Honor coming

3
00:00:27,316 --> 00:00:30,036
Speaker 1: in May, but I wanted to drop into your feeds

4
00:00:30,036 --> 00:00:33,916
Speaker 1: today because it's a very special day. National Medal of

5
00:00:33,956 --> 00:00:38,196
Speaker 1: Honor Day, March twenty fifth was designated by Congress as

6
00:00:38,236 --> 00:00:41,076
Speaker 1: a day of recognition and gratitude for those who have

7
00:00:41,156 --> 00:00:46,076
Speaker 1: demonstrated extraordinary heroism and courage. Today marks one hundred and

8
00:00:46,196 --> 00:00:49,236
Speaker 1: sixty two years since the very first Medal of Honor

9
00:00:49,676 --> 00:00:53,396
Speaker 1: was awarded to Jacob Wilson Parrot, a private from the

10
00:00:53,436 --> 00:00:58,796
Speaker 1: thirty third Ohio Volunteer Infantry's Company K. I'm celebrating the

11
00:00:58,876 --> 00:01:01,916
Speaker 1: day by thinking back on some of the incredible heroes

12
00:01:02,156 --> 00:01:05,836
Speaker 1: we covered in our last season, from Michael Thornton, who

13
00:01:05,836 --> 00:01:08,916
Speaker 1: became a Navy seal legend, to Molly Hudgens, a guy

14
00:01:09,276 --> 00:01:12,276
Speaker 1: counselor who went beyond her call of duty when faced

15
00:01:12,276 --> 00:01:16,156
Speaker 1: with a potential school shooter, or my favorite episode about

16
00:01:16,196 --> 00:01:19,716
Speaker 1: Henry Johnson, the reluctant hero of Oor War One who

17
00:01:19,756 --> 00:01:23,836
Speaker 1: told the truth even though it cost him everything. The

18
00:01:23,916 --> 00:01:26,556
Speaker 1: reason we make this show at Pushkin is simple, Courage

19
00:01:26,596 --> 00:01:29,836
Speaker 1: is contagious. These are stories we think we all benefit

20
00:01:29,876 --> 00:01:33,196
Speaker 1: from hearing, and we've got plenty more stories coming soon

21
00:01:33,916 --> 00:01:37,516
Speaker 1: in our second season, stories about those who have done

22
00:01:37,556 --> 00:01:41,836
Speaker 1: the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the

23
00:01:41,956 --> 00:01:45,756
Speaker 1: name of something much bigger than you or I. From

24
00:01:45,836 --> 00:01:49,316
Speaker 1: Judith Resnik, the second Woman in Space, to Daniel Day,

25
00:01:49,596 --> 00:01:52,156
Speaker 1: one of only nineteen people to have won the Medal

26
00:01:52,156 --> 00:01:54,956
Speaker 1: of Honor twice. There are ten more stories of heroism

27
00:01:55,436 --> 00:01:58,196
Speaker 1: heading your way, and we've got a new house coming

28
00:01:58,236 --> 00:02:00,836
Speaker 1: on board, someone who knows a little something about fighting,

29
00:02:01,316 --> 00:02:05,876
