Military Tribute – Medal of Honor Survivors
Military Tribute to Medal of Honor Survivors
This military tribute to the surviving 99 Medal of Honor recipients was created by Claudia Montanna. Claudia tells us "In the true American spirit, I would lay my life down for the Love of a friend although I’ve been let down time and time again by those that I placed my trust in … "
Claudia tells us "the earliest living survivor is from WWII. All Medal of Honor recipients from campaigns after Vietnam, to date, were awarded posthumously.
It matters not what your political views are when it comes to the valor that these courageous persons so earned and deserve.
Music is by Hans Zimmer

I come from a long line of proud Americans who have served our country since before the Revolutionary War. I pray I do them honor also in this humble presentation.
I was, in part, inspired to make this video presentation having seen a tribute to Ed Freeman, MoH Recipient, who died recently; and also, having heard that Robert Nett died October 19."
