Whereas...

Last week we studied several American events and heroes of WWI...The Second Battle of Marne, Meuse-Argonne Offensive, Alvin York, The Harlem Hellfighters, James Reese Europe, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Marcelino Serna, and David Barkley, etc.  We also studied the Medal of Honor...America's highest military honor which is awarded for "personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty..."

The award is meant to represent the gratitude of the American People... 

THE MEDAL OF HONOR

              ARMY           NAVY/ MARINES         AIR FORCE



Whereas, The Medal of Honor is "awarded to military personnel only, and awarded for…a person who distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;" and

Whereas, soldiers acts of gallantry have been ignored, forgotten or discriminated against because of rank, color, creed, ethnicity, etc; and

Whereas, it is appropriate to commemorate and honor with gratitude their bravery and sacrifice for the citizens of The United States of America;

We The People

Resolve that President Barack Obama strongly consider (and award) the following worthy candidates for the Medal of Honor...

SGT Henry Lincoln Johnson- WWI

Private Marcelino Serna- WWI
