ITALIAN AMERICAN HEROES ON VIDEO
Twenty four (24) earned Congressional
Medal of Honor, Nation's Highest Recognition.
Organizations interested in Italian American war heroes can now learn about the acts of courage that earned them the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest recognition for duty "above and beyond the call."
According to on-going research by the Sons
of Italy's Commission for Social
Justice, at least 24 men of Italian heritage
have been awarded the MOH.
Now, for the first time, their dramatic stories have been captured on film in the 45-minute documentary "Italian American Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor," produced by the New York State Commission for Social Justice.
