So I was doing research on the Medal of Honor Recipients and it doesn't seem like there is a lot of research that has been done on them. There are lots of books and websites but they just have the stories, not a lot of connection between the Recipients or their families. My question to yall is, what is one thing I should find out about the Medal of Honor Community?
Thanks

I think it would be intersting to know what the recipiants have gone on to do after they won their awards. Is there a general trend that many seem to follow? Or maybe one or two noteworthy recipiants went on to do something that characterizes the community as a whole.
You could take the research in the way of looking at the remarkedly fewer Medal of Honors received in the Iraq wars in comparison to Vietnam and the World Wars. I think you would be surprised. There are alot fewer opportunities to show bravery in such extreme ways as a result of technology and being more seperated from direct battle, for better or worse. Also, you could look at how Medal of Honors and PTSD symptoms co-exist.
