Representative Windhorst commemorated National Medal of Honor Day, a day dedicated to honoring individuals who have demonstrated exceptional valor in the armed forces. In a statement, Windhorst acknowledged that "National Medal of Honor Day recognizes those who have received the highest military award for valor."
The National Medal of Honor, established in 1861, remains a prestigious accolade bestowed upon a select few individuals for their extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness. Windhorst highlighted the significance of this recognition by stating, "Since its creation in 1861, only 3,517 members of the armed forces have achieved this great honor."
National Medal of Honor Day serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in service to their country.
