Last fall, during a special Veterans Day visit to the National Medal of Honor Museum’s construction site, host Mo Barrett sat down with two incredible women who are each married to a Medal of Honor recipient: Dixie Davis and Kate Williams. The trio discuss the sacrifices made by the families of servicemembers and the tremendous responsibilities they bear, especially those related to Medal of Honor recipients.

This is a special bonus episode featuring a Courage Conversation with Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Major Matt Williams, recorded last fall during a special Veterans Day visit to the National Medal of Honor Museum’s construction site. During a firefight in Afghanistan’s Shok Valley, Williams repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire as he moved up and down a mountain to help evacuate the wounded. He and host Mo Barrett talk about his actions that day, the lessons he’s learned from other Medal of Honor recipients and what motivates him to continue to serve on active duty.

On the latest episode in our March to Grand Opening series, host Mo Barrett sits down with Medal of Honor recipient and NMOHMF Board Member Col. Jack Jacobs, who earned the Medal in Vietnam when he – though injured himself – repeatedly ran across open rice paddies through heavy fire to evacuate the wounded. Col. Jacobs reflects on watching the Museum come to life and shares his reaction to learning he was to be featured in the exhibition gallery, including in a special AI feature.
