	Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure. Abraham Lincoln's famous statement is the reason that Great Americans was founded one year ago on Veterans Day. But we also need to listen and learn from those who have risked their lives to defend our nation. They are messengers of truths about courage, freedom, and sacrifice that are essential to our survival. The voices in these videos have something to teach all of us. Matt Daniels Creator & Executive Producer Medal of Honor - Portraits of Valor: The Medal of Honor was created to give expression to Lincoln's words about heroism. Not surprisingly, those who have received the Medal of Honor talk about freedom as something precious. Their stories remind us that the lessons of freedom need to be relearned by every generation. Wisdom from a Wounded Warrior: Army Staff Sergeant Jessica Clements has more wisdom than most people many times her age. She earned it by recovering from combat injuries in Iraq that gave her a 2% survival rate. She says that her suffering taught her to love our country and to value the sacrifices of all those who came before her. American Warriors Come Home: Men and women who are parents, spouses, sons and daughters leave their families behind when they volunteer to defend our freedoms. Listen to their voices as they return home to their families and you'll understand why they deserve to be honored as Great Americans.
