Other than the inscription, the three stamps are identical to those issued from World War II and the Korean War - the Army version, Air Force version and the Navy version, which also serves for the Marine Corps and Coast Guard. While the medals are variations of a five-point star, the light blue ribbon with stars is uniform across the services.

Vietnam Gold Star Mom Georgie Carter Krell proud Mother of Bruce Wayne Carter, gave his life for his country in Vietnam in 1963. Vice President Spiro Agnew posthumously awarded Bruce the Medal of Honor in 1972.

Keynote speaker and Medal of Honor recipient Jack Jacobs said he still thinks about the same things every day - "My fellow Soldiers, who died, and all the Americans in previous wars, who gave their lives to be free." "This medal is about men and women, who value something so strongly, they'd be willing to die for it, and they'd be willing to defend our country for it, and so they put on the uniform" said Beikirch, who was serving as a Special Forces medic when he was cited for his Medal of Honor actions in 1970. "I just did what I had to do until I collapsed and then I was medevac'd out, but most of the recipients if you were to ask them what they did would say, I just did what I was trained to do, I did what the guy next to me would have done and in many cases the guy next to me did do," he said.

The Medal of Honor is our nation’s most prestigious military decoration. It is awarded by the President of the United States on behalf of Congress to members of the armed services who distinguish themselves through “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty” while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States - See more at: http://www.vvmf.org/news/article=VVMF-to-Honor-Sacrifice-and-Pay-Tribute-to-Medal-of-Honor-Recipients-at-Memorial-Day-Ceremony-at-The-Wall#sthash.yfNsZCvL.dpuf

Of the millions of U.S. service members who served during the Vietnam War, only 258 were awarded the Medal of Honor. Most award recipients made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives while performing the courageous acts for which they were later honored. - See more at: http://www.vvmf.org/news/article=VVMF-to-Honor-Sacrifice-and-Pay-Tribute-to-Medal-of-Honor-Recipients-at-Memorial-Day-Ceremony-at-The-Wall#sthash.yfNsZCvL.dpuf
