“As a teacher, I believe, as Martin Luther King believed, that ‘Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character – that is the true goal of education.’ The Beyond the Medal of Honor documentary is a valuable educational program and serves as a powerful tool for helping teachers fulfill this very important responsibility.”
DEBBIE VOUGHT
DIRECTOR, CITIZENS FOR SAFE SCHOOLS
“BEYOND THE MEDAL OF HONOR reminds us all that the American people can rise above politics and above petty self-involvement in a truly meaningful way. We are excited about the opportunity to add this to our Veterans Day programming.”
DONNA SANFORD

“BEYOND THE MEDAL OF HONOR is the personal story of a very select group of brave Americans who were willing to put their belief system into action. These inspiring men represent the very best of being a human being, whose actions during an unbelievable situation are something that most of us will never have to face. Beyond the Medal of Honor is a welcome addition to the quality line-up of public television programs broadcast to commemorate Veteran’s Day. ”

The production quality was extraordinary and riveting. “Beyond the Medal” is a must-see for every high school student. It is quite evident that a great deal of time, research, and creativity went into the production. I salute you and others who had the vision and fortitude to bring it to a national audience. The PBS show shall be a very rich addition to the archives of United States military history and the legacy of the Medal of Honor.”
