Heroism in the War on Terror:
An Interview with Clint Romesha, Medal of Honor Recipient
Hosted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation
Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time
Register early to submit a question from your class!
For his actions in the October 3, 2009 battle at Outpost Keating in the Nuristan Province of Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha was awarded the Medal of Honor. Five years later, in this interview with Medal of Honor Foundation President Ron Rand, Romesha reflects on that day and the direction his life has taken since.
Now a working civilian, husband, father, and one of the youngest of the 79 living Medal of Honor recipients, Romesha dedicates some of his precious free time to sharing his story with teachers and students. During this webinar, he will take questions from the audience and share his thoughts on his experiences. While all the Medal of Honor stories are inspiring, youth can especially connect with this national hero who is still young enough to be their brother or cousin.
The Medal of Honor Foundation and edWeb.net invite you and your students to join us for this live event.
