WEBVTT - Celebrating National Medal of Honor Day 

0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:24.716
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. Hello, Hello everyone, Malcolm Glawell here. We're gearing up

0:00:24.756 --> 0:00:27.276
<v Speaker 1>for an all new season of Medal of Honor coming

0:00:27.316 --> 0:00:30.036
<v Speaker 1>in May, but I wanted to drop into your feeds

0:00:30.036 --> 0:00:33.916
<v Speaker 1>today because it's a very special day. National Medal of

0:00:33.956 --> 0:00:38.196
<v Speaker 1>Honor Day, March twenty fifth was designated by Congress as

0:00:38.236 --> 0:00:41.076
<v Speaker 1>a day of recognition and gratitude for those who have

0:00:41.156 --> 0:00:46.076
<v Speaker 1>demonstrated extraordinary heroism and courage. Today marks one hundred and

0:00:46.196 --> 0:00:49.236
<v Speaker 1>sixty two years since the very first Medal of Honor

0:00:49.676 --> 0:00:53.396
<v Speaker 1>was awarded to Jacob Wilson Parrot, a private from the

0:00:53.436 --> 0:00:58.796
<v Speaker 1>thirty third Ohio Volunteer Infantry's Company K. I'm celebrating the

0:00:58.876 --> 0:01:01.916
<v Speaker 1>day by thinking back on some of the incredible heroes

0:01:02.156 --> 0:01:05.836
<v Speaker 1>we covered in our last season, from Michael Thornton, who

0:01:05.836 --> 0:01:08.916
<v Speaker 1>became a Navy seal legend, to Molly Hudgens, a guy

0:01:09.276 --> 0:01:12.276
<v Speaker 1>counselor who went beyond her call of duty when faced

0:01:12.276 --> 0:01:16.156
<v Speaker 1>with a potential school shooter, or my favorite episode about

0:01:16.196 --> 0:01:19.716
<v Speaker 1>Henry Johnson, the reluctant hero of Oor War One who

0:01:19.756 --> 0:01:23.836
<v Speaker 1>told the truth even though it cost him everything. The

0:01:23.916 --> 0:01:26.556
<v Speaker 1>reason we make this show at Pushkin is simple, Courage

0:01:26.596 --> 0:01:29.836
<v Speaker 1>is contagious. These are stories we think we all benefit

0:01:29.876 --> 0:01:33.196
<v Speaker 1>from hearing, and we've got plenty more stories coming soon

0:01:33.916 --> 0:01:37.516
<v Speaker 1>in our second season, stories about those who have done

0:01:37.556 --> 0:01:41.836
<v Speaker 1>the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the

0:01:41.956 --> 0:01:45.756
<v Speaker 1>name of something much bigger than you or I. From

0:01:45.836 --> 0:01:49.316
<v Speaker 1>Judith Resnik, the second Woman in Space, to Daniel Day,

0:01:49.596 --> 0:01:52.156
<v Speaker 1>one of only nineteen people to have won the Medal

0:01:52.156 --> 0:01:54.956
<v Speaker 1>of Honor twice. There are ten more stories of heroism

0:01:55.436 --> 0:01:58.196
<v Speaker 1>heading your way, and we've got a new house coming

0:01:58.236 --> 0:02:00.836
<v Speaker 1>on board, someone who knows a little something about fighting,

0:02:01.316 --> 0:02:05.876
<v Speaker 1>sacrificing and overcoming. You'll hear from him soon, so be

0:02:05.996 --> 0:02:10.196
