Jerry Jones’ Stance

Apparently, the National Medal of Honor Museum and Leadership Institute is paving their path to honor the legacy of the medal’s recipients.

Standing at the AT&T Stadium, it has reached the 30th anniversary of National Medal of Honor Day. 

Indeed, they debuted the museum first during the Civil War. Back then, they bestowed the honor as the highest military award for valor in combat.

Thus, marking the honor, Jones involved himself in a keen awareness. 

“We need to show each other love from every kind of bias we can talk about. I’ve never seen anything that nails it like the recognition of the Medal of Honor winners and what they stood for. I’m keenly aware that when we endorse or we significantly recognize something special about our country, that’s going to have noticed.”
-Jerry Jones

Stories and the Values

As a matter of fact, Jones and his family are linked to the museum ever since 2019. Additionally, they have pushed the foundation forward to move in just six values. 

Courage, sacrifice, commitment, integrity, citizenship, and patriotism are the ones that portray the pillar of the foundation.

Furthermore, their Medal of Honor has been a sign of racial and religious diversity. 

Indeed, the meanings and the tradition has been running way back since the era of wars and battles.

Counting the numbers to date, the foundation has awarded 3,507 individuals among which 69 of them are still living.

Altogether, the foundation is to be set by the year 2026. A long way to go, yet perfect to wait. 

“We need to show each other love from every kind of bias we can talk about. I’ve never seen anything that nails it like the recognition of the Medal of Honor winners and what they stood for. Let’s all pitch in and love each other and do it for each other.”
