in what month is national medal of honor day observed?

National Medal of Honor Day is observed annually in the month of March, specifically on March 25. This day honors the recipients of the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military honor given for acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty. The date was chosen because the first Medals of Honor were awarded on March 25, 1863, and Congress established National Medal of Honor Day by resolution in 1990 to be observed on this day each year.
