Living recipients of the National Medal of Honor spent the day named after the award paying tribute to others.
For the last six years on March 25, National Medal of Honor Day, the surviving medal holders honor three civilians for their own acts of courage. The ceremony, known as the Citizen Honors Awards, is held before a wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery by the veterans.
The three recipients are chosen from roughly 20 candidates each year. Between 25 and 30 Medal of Honor winners decide each year on the final three to receive the honor. The candidates must display an exemplary act of heroism that has made a difference in the lives of others.
