25        Medal Of Honor Day

Who:               For those that know what true sacrifice is.

What:             National Medal Of Honor Day

When:             Every year starting 2007

Where:           In the Hearts and Minds of those who served 

Why:               Instead of honoring the men and women of our Military Service,

                        they create a holiday and think this will suffice instead of the

                        Medical care we need. Instead of handling our claims quickly or

                        even allowing those deserving the dignity and respect earned.

Addl Info:       Janie Orman, the organization's president, says; "We want 50 cities

across the United States to hold ceremonies and remember our honored wounded." 

        

    The tradition of the Silver Star banner for the wounded and ill goes back to 1917

and lasted for years until it faded into history. Silver Star Families of America

brought back this tradition so that every time someone sees a Silver Star banner

in a window or a Silver Star flag flying, they remember the sacrifice of wounded

service members.
