    It is unlikely that any one person will get it.

    " a. The Medal of Honor [Army], section 3741, title 10, United States Code (10 USC 3741), was established by Joint Resolution of Congress, 12 July 1862 (amended by acts 9 July 1918 and 25 July 1963).

    b. The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President in the name of Congress to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit."

    All it takes is for someone to have the courage in battle to save the lives of his brothers.

    Do you think you can do that?

    Most people don't know who they truly are till they are staring death in the face.

    This is actually a question I have asked my self before. If I was ever put into the situation where I could risk my life and save the lives of people I cared for. I would definitely do it. I'm not afraid to get hurt or die for the ones I care for. In war, the people I would be caring most about are the ones watching my back.

    Its all up to chance as far as that. Which as a lot of veterans will tell you is every instance in combat there's a chance you might not see home ever again.

    Of course not. Which is why you're trained so hard, so that thought doesn't scare you and stop you from doing what is needed, otherwise you would most certainly not see home again.
