Episode 52: The Alamo's Medal Of Honor History

In just a matter of days, real life heroes will walk the Alamo grounds. They’ve received the United States’ highest award for military valor in action: the Medal of Honor.

We reveal the special gathering taking place to honor these deserving veterans, the stories of Medal of Honor recipients who actually lay in state inside the Alamo Church, and how the Alamo’s strongest supporters are now banding together to ensure history remembers these heroes.

Featuring the Alamo’s Senior Researcher and Historian Kolby Lanham; Remember The Alamo Foundation board member and Medal of Honor Celebration board member Phil Bakke; Congressional Medal of Honor Society President and Medal of Honor recipient Britt Slabinski; and, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Senior Director of Archives, Collections and Museums Laura Jowdy.
