Home of Heroes

Do you know how many Congressional Medals of Honor have been presented?
Do you know how many Medal of Honor Recipients are still living?
Do you know President Bush will present a Medal of Honor on February 26 2007?

Home of Heroes is a site dedicated to “Preserving the History of Recipients of the Medal of Honor” and according to the Pueblo Chieftan, is “The nation’s leading Web site for information about patriotism, the Medal of Honor and military history.”

The Medal of Honor recipients are listed, their citations are listed, and photos are available for download.

I think these are awesome - you could print them and your child could mail them to the Recipients to ask for their autograph. Imagine if a teacher had each student in his/her class request an autograph from a recipient, then write a report on the Recipient - oh, the possibilities of a history project is mind boggling!

Actually, many people (not just children) DO print these and take them to MOH Recipient convention autograph sessions. I’ve seen them! If you want to know more about my experiences attending the conventions, here is one of my stories.

Home of Heroes has a Just 4 Kidz page where your children may learn a great deal of interesting information. There are printable coloring pages, games, online painting and enough information to keep you or your children busy for hours at a time.

I enjoy reading the Citations of these great American heroes and hope you will too.
