Speaker 1: Pushkin. Hello, Hello everyone, Malcolm Glawell here. We're gearing up
Speaker 1: for an all new season of Medal of Honor coming
Speaker 1: in May, but I wanted to drop into your feeds
Speaker 1: today because it's a very special day. National Medal of
Speaker 1: Honor Day, March twenty fifth was designated by Congress as
Speaker 1: a day of recognition and gratitude for those who have
Speaker 1: demonstrated extraordinary heroism and courage. Today marks one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two years since the very first Medal of Honor
Speaker 1: was awarded to Jacob Wilson Parrot, a private from the
Speaker 1: thirty third Ohio Volunteer Infantry's Company K. I'm celebrating the
Speaker 1: day by thinking back on some of the incredible heroes
Speaker 1: we covered in our last season, from Michael Thornton, who
Speaker 1: became a Navy seal legend, to Molly Hudgens, a guy
Speaker 1: counselor who went beyond her call of duty when faced
Speaker 1: with a potential school shooter, or my favorite episode about
Speaker 1: Henry Johnson, the reluctant hero of Oor War One who
Speaker 1: told the truth even though it cost him everything. The
Speaker 1: reason we make this show at Pushkin is simple, Courage
Speaker 1: is contagious. These are stories we think we all benefit
Speaker 1: from hearing, and we've got plenty more stories coming soon
Speaker 1: in our second season, stories about those who have done
Speaker 1: the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the
Speaker 1: name of something much bigger than you or I. From
Speaker 1: Judith Resnik, the second Woman in Space, to Daniel Day,
Speaker 1: one of only nineteen people to have won the Medal
Speaker 1: of Honor twice. There are ten more stories of heroism
Speaker 1: heading your way, and we've got a new house coming
Speaker 1: on board, someone who knows a little something about fighting,
Speaker 1: sacrificing and overcoming. You'll hear from him soon, so be
Speaker 1: sure to stay subscribed. In the meantime, we also want
Speaker 1: to hear from you. Send us your personal story of
Speaker 1: courage or highlight someone else's bravery. You might hear your
Speaker 1: stories on future episodes of Medal of Honor, or see
Speaker 1: them on our social channels. Email us at Medal of
Speaker 1: Honor at Pushkin dot FM. We'll see you all back
Speaker 1: here in May.
