American Marconi Wireless News - Chicago Cubs and the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership Celebrate Military Heroes on Armed Forces Day at Wrigley Field

Barnum and Pitts represent the very best of the Medal of Honor legacy. From Vietnam to Afghanistan, their courage under fire and commitment to their fellow servicemen and women remind us of the enduring power of integrity, courage, commitment, sacrifice, citizenship and patriotism. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest award for valor in combat. Today, only 61 living recipients remain - and two will take center stage at Wrigley Field, offering a rare opportunity for Cubs fans to witness the living embodiment of those values.

"We are honored to share this moment with the Chicago Cubs and the Wrigley Field community," says Thomas J. Mundell, president and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership. "Recognizing these heroes on Armed Forces Day reinforces our mission - to equip others to lead with the same conviction and character."

This event advances the Center for Leadership's mission to develop ethical, impact-driven leaders across student, corporate, veteran and civic sectors. Through nationwide programming and the creation of a national leadership hub at Patriots Point in South Carolina, the Center for Leadership is helping Americans everywhere prepare to meet their moment.
