Beyond the Call: Medal of Honor Stories is a podcast dedicated to sharing the incredible true stories of the bravest soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines in American history. Each episode dives deep into the acts of extraordinary heroism that earned these individuals the Medal of Honor, the highest military award for valor in the United States. From the battlefields of the American Civil War to modern conflicts, we explore the battles they fought, the impossible decisions they made under fire, and the lasting impact of their courage. Whether they made the ultimate sacrifice or continued to serve beyond the war, their stories deserve to be told and remembered. Join us as we honor those who went beyond the call of duty.
