Receiving the Medal of Honor

14. Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards) states the Air Medal is awarded in time of war for heroism and for meritorious achievement or service while participating in aerial flight. This award is primarily intended for personnel on flying status but may also be awarded to those personnel whose combat duties require them to fly; for example, personnel in the attack elements of units involved in air-land assaults against an armed enemy. As with all personal decorations, formal recommendations, approval through the chain of command, and announcement in orders are required.

The United States has faced many conflicts from the 18th century to the mid 20th century on the road to becoming the country it is today. Wars have been part of many conflicts that have broken out between the United States and various other powers during this time. The wars have cost many lives and allowed for the United States to rise to superpower status and stay a powerful nation in today’s world. But, the United States actions caused them to become part of many wars because they increased tensions between themselves and other countries causing war to be inevitable. The United States actions led to war by increasing tensions making war inevitable in many situations from the 18th century to the mid 20th century by the idea of imperialism,

equals, and chain of command to carry out their military duties adequately. a military member is required

Over the course of history, the United States has a reputation of getting involved with other nations to sort out disputes, arguments, conflicts, wars, etc. One specific example of U.S. Military Involvement is the 1980 El Salvador Civil War. The El Salvador Civil War was a civil war that lasted from 1980 to about 1992. The war slowly arose due to little uprisings in society, promises to improve economy and lifestyles that were never fulfilled, and the push of communism beliefs onto the people who didn’t believe in them. The U.S. Military would not get involved unless their is a violation of human rights, or if mankind is being put into harm's way. The U.S. involved themselves in the Civil War of El Salvador because they had enough evidence and support for specific claims, had the appropriate authority, and fought for an outcome that suited the needs of humanity.

As he was being placed into a body bag, he spit in the doctor’s face. He was then sent to surgery. Master Sergeant Benavidez’s commanding officer awarded him with the Distinguished Service Cross. The commander awarded this to him as he presumed Roy would die before being awarded the Medal of Honor. Amazingly, he survived the procedures and was placed in the appropriate care.

Throughout American history the U.S has tried to stay out of national disputes but sometimes it is necessary for them to take action. In all the wars ever fought in the world only two have been fought on U.S soil and one of the wars was between our own country(Civil War).

“There are only two kinds of people who understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else just has a second-hand opinion.” (Gen William Thornson, U.S. Army) For decades, the United States Marine Corps has established an identity as a unique and fearless war fighting machine.

He had always believed in equal rights, and he wasn't going to let our government make him stop believing in equal rights. He got plastic surgery and changed his name to make him seem more American, but despite his efforts he was arrested on May 30, 1942. On September 8,

I am deeply honored to be among the exceptional students who are being considered for the National Honor’s Society.

Green portrays the war as a symbolic event for men to show their duty as an American to protect their own country. Green’s choice of words such as “honor” and “justice”, “glory” and “heroism” served as a motivator for his audience to show that partaking the role of being in the Union forces will

In all my items, the two most important artifacts to me are my 1st place Track and Field Areas ribbon, and my 3rd place Volleyball Areas ribbon. If I had no choice but to choose one over the other, I’m sure you’d be surprised to hear that I hold more sentimental value for my third place ribbon than my first place ribbon. There is only one reason why: teamwork. I always thought of myself as an introvert. I loved the idea of working alone while separating myself away from the crowds. I despised the idea of depending on someone else for something I know I was capable of doing without the help of someone else. But I was also very fond of sports. I joined the volleyball team at my school. I have always considered myself to be an independent leader,

I negate the resolution, "Resolved: When the United States is engaged in military conflict, national security ought to supercede conflicting claims of individual rights. My value for the round is Human Dignity, or what can be defined as a respect for the individual and his or her rights and virtues. John Stuart Mill states that "Everyone who receive the protection of society owes a return for the benefit... but not to the point that it violates constituted rights." Thus those rights which are the fundamentals of human dignity must be maintained. No fundamental goal should ever undermine this fundamental goal. The criteria which must consistently achieve is the maintenance of a legitimate government, or a govt. that maximizes the rights of

Yes, war would be allowed in defense of others. For-example when Iraq invaded Kuwait during the Gulf war the U.S. intervenes. The United States has made great strides in building up the operational capacity of its partners by training and equipping troops and mentoring them in the field. This is especially true in the Middle East Regions. Another instance is through the Lend-Lease program, the United States sent some $31 billion worth of supplies (in 1940s dollars) to the United Kingdom over the course of the war. It dates back to the period before the United States entered World War II, when Winston Churchill famously said, "Give us the tools, and we will finish the job." U.S. aid to the Soviet Union during those years exceeded $11 billion, including hundreds of thousands of trucks and thousands of tanks, aircraft, and artillery pieces.

There are many great people that have had the honor of being declared a saint in the catholic community. Some of these saints have lived very different lives. Some have always been on the right path, whereas some have started off on the wrong foot and made some bad choices. Either way they all accomplished many good things in their lifetimes, and for that they have the honor of being a saint. One of those lucky saints goes by the name of Thomas More.
