Bob Ingram joined the Navy after graduating high school in 1963 to give himself some direction. He was initially assigned to work in electronics, but after getting a bad case of pneumonia, Ingram was so impressed by the dedication of the Navy corpsmen, that he decided to become one. Corpsman training was long and demanding and Marine Corps aid training followed that. After struggling to find a good Marine unit to join, Ingram was off to Vietnam in late 1965 - attached to C Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. They saw a lot of action right from the start.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Ingram takes us into corpsman training, being assigned to the wrong company, and the joy of being moved to a great one. He then details his actions in February 1966, as he rendered aid to his Marines and also manned a machine gun to expose the enemy position. Ingram would receive the Silver Star.Just a few weeks later, on March 28, 1966, C Company found itself in another vicious fight, and lost a platoon almost instantly. Ingram provided aid to wounded Marines, gathered weapons and ammo from those who were killed and brought it to those still in the fight, and, again, grabbed a gun to target and drive out the enemy. He did all of this despite being shot several times, including once in the head.Ingram will tell us about his long road to recovery, how he learned of the effort to award him the Medal of Honor, and what the medal means to him and the men he served alongside.

ABOUT MEDAL OF HONOR SEASON 2 Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States' top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you've become a hero.

Send us a textTucked away in the northwest corner of South Carolina, Oconee County reveals itself as an undiscovered treasure where natural beauty intertwines with captivating history. As I wandered through this Blue Ridge Mountain paradise, I uncovered the poignant legend of Issaquena, a brave Choctaw maiden who risked everything for love, leaving her name on what is now a magnificent 200-foot waterfall – just one of over 300 cascades dotting the county's landscape.My journey took me to Patriots Hall in Walhalla, where the sobering story of Staff Sergeant Lewis "Slim" Watkins unfolded. This local hero posthumously received the Congressional Medal of Honor after sacrificing his life to shield fellow Marines from a grenade during the Korean War. His medal rests there today, a testament to extraordinary courage in the face of certain death.Perhaps nothing captures Oconee's quirky character better than Stumphouse Tunnel – an ambitious 1850s railroad project abandoned after consuming over a million dollars, only to find new purpose a century later as Clemson University's unexpected blue cheese aging facility. This "tunnel to nowhere" now welcomes visitors curious about its unusual history.The county's spirit runs deep – quite literally – at Chattooga Bell Farm Distillery, where passionate master distiller Ben Wesley crafts exceptional rums and whiskeys from fruit grown steps away from the stills. Similarly, Two Horse Distillery, founded by former rodeo champions, honors their western legacy through carefully crafted spirits using mountain spring water.With four stunning lakes spanning thousands of acres, miles of hiking trails through ancient forests, and Class 3 and 4 rapids on the Chattooga River (yes, from the movie "Deliverance"), outdoor enthusiasts find endless adventure possibilities. Yet what struck me most was how every corner of Oconee County tells a story – Cherokee names etched on roadways, German churches standing since the 1850s, and prohibition-era moonshine caves hidden among the hills.Experience this remarkable destination where, as I discovered, "the US has stories everywhere – you just have to look where the tour buses don't bother going."

The Jack Carr Book Club April 2025 selection is THE UNVANQUISHED by bestselling author Patrick K. O'Donnell.THE UNVANQUISHED pulls back the curtain on a little-known shadow war that raged alongside the Civil War's better-known battles. At its center: Lincoln's special forces, the Jessie Scouts—Union soldiers who disguised themselves in Confederate uniforms to carry out daring raids, intelligence gathering, and high-risk missions behind enemy lines.Through vivid storytelling and never-before-published firsthand accounts, O'Donnell shines a light on the Scouts' deadly cat-and-mouse game with Mosby's Rangers, uncovering espionage operations, plots to kidnap Abraham Lincoln, and a postwar proxy fight in Mexico. Patrick K. O'Donnell is a combat historian, public speaker, and the bestselling author of 13 critically acclaimed books spanning from the American Revolution to Iraq. He is a leading authority on special operations and irregular warfare, having embedded with troops in Fallujah and advised on projects like BAND OF BROTHERS and MEDAL OF HONOR. His research blends archival discovery with thousands of oral history interviews, bringing lost stories back to life with intensity and precision.FOLLOW PATRICKFacebook - @patrickkodonnellX - @combathistorianWebsite - https://patrickkodonnell.com/index.html FOLLOW JACKInstagram - @JackCarrUSA X - @JackCarrUSAFacebook - @JackCarr YouTube - @JackCarrUSA SPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - BCM Stock MOD3:https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-stock-mod-3-black/  and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr  P365 Collection: P365XL with Red Dot Optic, P365, P365X-Macro, P365 Custom with True Precision, and P365 Legion.Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

Worum geht's? Kurz vor der Jahrtausendwende veröffentlicht Electronic Arts mit Medal of Honor einen Ego-Shooter, der sich bewusst vom damals dominierenden Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Setting absetzt und stattdessen den Zweiten Weltkrieg als Hintergrund wählt. Als Soldat der OSS führt der Spieler verdeckte Missionen hinter feindlichen Linien aus, filmreif in Szene gesetzt mit aufwändiger Grafik und Musik. Gunnar und Fabian sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehung des Spiels unter der Mitwirkung von Steven Spielberg, die Verbindung von Authentizität und Spielspaß und wie Medal of Honor den Grundstein für eine Welle von Weltkriegs-Shootern legte. Ein Rückblick auf ein Spiel, das den Krieg in einer neuen Ernsthaftigkeit ins Medium brachte. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Medal of Honor Erscheinungstermin: November/Dezember, 1999 Plattform: Playstation Entwickler: Dreamworks Interactive Publisher: Dreamworks Interactive, Electronic Arts Genre: Ego-Shooter Designer: Peter Hirschmann, Christopher Cross, Lynn Henson, Steven Spielberg u.a.

We started off Punch a N*zi month by taking on Mecha Hitler and now we are continuing the series with some resistance. I'm joined by Dave Pietrangelo from the Remember 64 podcast to talk about the second installment in the Medal of Honor series, Medal of Honor: Underground. This game approached WW2 from a different direction than the first game. Instead of an American soldier you play as Manon Batiste, a french resistance fighter. Dave and I break down Manon's journey as she avenges her brothers death and helps liberate her home country. This game means a lot to me and it means even more now. If you have not played this game I highly recommend it.

Flo joins host Andrew Kaufmann and Michael Bailey, Deputy Director of the Leadership Programs at the Bush Institute to discuss his service to our country and what leadership means both in the uniform and as a civilian.

The editor in chief of The Atlantic says White House national security adviser Mike Waltz invited him to join a group chat on Signal, an encrypted messaging app. Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top U.S. officials then texted about plans to attack Houthi targets in Yemen. While Hegseth has denied the allegations, the National Security Council said the thread "appears to be authentic."

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a new museum that tells the stories of Medal of Honor recipients.

According to The Guardian, Army Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, the highest-ranking Black servicemember to receive the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Vietnam War, was briefly removed from the Department of Defense's website, sparking backlash. The deletion occurred amid the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Following public outcry, the page was later restored. Rogers' Medal of Honor citation commended his “heroism” during a 1968 battle. He retired in 1984 and passed away in 1990. The controversy surrounding his profile's removal underscores broader concerns about the erasure of Black military history from government records. Learn more about your ad choices.

On August 8th, 2012, as CPT Florent Groberg was escorting coalition and Afghan personnel to a compound in Asadabad, Afghanistan, he spotted a man approaching who was wearing a suicide vest. Acting quickly, Groberg managed to push the attacker away from the group, but the vest still exploded, killing four people and seriously injuring Groberg. More would have perished, though, if it hadn't been for the Captain's actions, which led to him receiving the prestigious Medal of Honor. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with CPT (Ret.) Groberg to discuss how Groberg's childhood in France shaped the person he became, how his recovery from the attack taught him many lessons, and also what it's like being a comic book character.   Guest: Captain Florent "Flo" Groberg, U.S. Army Retired, Medal of Honor Recipient   Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA's Army Matters podcast!   AUSA's Army Matters podcast can also be heard on Wreaths Across America Radio on Monday at 8 pm Eastern.

After three years of construction – and decades of dreams – the National Medal of Honor Museum will open its doors this month. In their actions on the battlefield and beyond, Medal of Honor Recipients embody the values intrinsic to the Medal: citizenship and patriotism, commitment and integrity, courage and sacrifice. And while the Museum will explore all of these values, each of us relates to the values in a unique way. Recently, we asked Medal of Honor Recipients and their family members which of the six values resonates with them the most.   Tickets to visit the National Medal of Honor Museum are now available for purchase on the Museum's website ahead of the doors opening to the public on March 25, 2025. The Museum has more than 100,000 square feet of space, including 31,000 square feet dedicated to Exhibition Galleries telling the history of the Medal of Honor and the stories of the American heroes who earned it. More information to help guests plan their visit is available at mohmuseum.org.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government.  It is presented to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have displayed extraordinary bravery and valor in combat, often at great personal risk and beyond the call of duty.  The Medal of Honor has a rich history dating back to the American Civil War and has undergone various changes in its design, criteria, and awarding process. Learn more about the Medal of Honor, how it was created and how it is awarded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Ultimate Sacrifice: Honoring Corporal Jason Dunham's Legacy In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, we learn the vivid details of the events leading up to the courage, love, and self-sacrifice made by Medal of Honor recipient, Corporal Jason L. Dunham of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines in Karabilah, Iraq. What a leader by example Jason was - to the point of throwing himself onto a grenade in an effort to save his comrades. Marcus' guests, David Kniess (Veteran & Producer) and Lieutenant Colonel Trent Gibson (Dunham's Company Commander), not only bring Jason's story to life, but discuss the compelling and engaging upcoming documentary - The Gift. The Gift documentary is a personal project for David, who had a chance meeting with Corporal Dunham. That chance meeting led to lifelong friendships with the Dunham family and a core group of Marines from Kilo Company. David is actively involved in the Veteran community and has volunteered his time, producing content for Veteran Organizations such as Beteran, Stop Soldier Suicide, John Preston Music, and The Boot Campaign. David also served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Normandy (CG-60), a guided missile cruiser.   In this episode you will hear: • Having the Dunham's in my life has enriched my life. (10:52) • It's not just about Jason; it's about everything that has affected all of you all those years. (15:46) • Our generation and the younger generation is standing up and saying, “I'm not gonna wait for anyone. I'm gonna jump out there and teach guys how to surf, how to sing with dogs, start a podcast, and we're talking about our shit. (22:44) • [With regard to this film], all I care about is what Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Soldiers think. For veterans who are still struggling, I want them to watch it and say “if these kid can do it, maybe I can do it too.” (26:44) • I want civilians to know what it's like for young men & women to go to war. (27:23) • [Marcus] If somebody threw one of those “Thank you for service” lines at you – even if you haven't done something – it's coming…” (28:04) • I believe in 3 things as a Marine. I believe in leadership by example; I believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good; and one man can make a difference. (33:06) • Jason had the leadership qualities to lead a rifle squad of American sons. (37:39) • Any leader who inspires his subordinates through personal example, to then return the favor and take care of him – that's a true leader. (47:06) • Dunham was a big boy. He's not someone I would choose to grapple with. (54:38) • Jason took off his Kevlar helmet, placed in on the grenade, and then laid down on it. (64:41) • Knowing what I know of him now, he loved his marines so much. He didn't just take care of them, he practiced taking care of them. Who fucking practices covering a live grenade with their helmet?
