Medal of Honor Recipients Offer Advice to Their Younger Selves

The start of the new year is a time to reflect on ways we can improve. As infallible as they may seem, Medal of Honor Recipients are no different. Looking back on their lives, there’s some changes they would have liked to make. Recently, we asked a few Recipients to share the advice they would give to their younger selves. The wisdom they shared about modesty, discipline, gratefulness, and more is applicable at all stages of life.
