Welcome to American Mosaic from Learning English.
Im June Simms.
Today on the show, we visit a museum where art and science help tell the story of human evolution.
But first, we hear about some heroic Americans.
Bravery of Soldiers, and Civilians, Honored
Americans who received the highest honor for bravery from the U.S. military gathered in Knoxville, Tennessee this week. They attended the first showing of a documentary film on the history of the Medal of Honor. But these American servicemen and women also recognize bravery among civilians. For several years now, Medal of Honor winners have been awarding Citizen Medals of Honor. The medal recognizes acts of bravery and service in communities around the country.
On a snowy day at Arlington National Cemetery, living Medal of Honor winners gather to recognize service members killed in the line of duty.
Thank you for inspiring us then and now with your strength, your will and your heroic hearts.
And later at the White House, their numbers increase as a group of veterans from past wars receive the Medal for their own bravery.
But they also took some time to recognize non-military bravery. They honor a group of ordinary citizens for their heroic actions in the face of danger.
We all started to feel this pull, and swimming back to the beach became difficult if not impossible for some of the others. I realized that because of my junior lifeguard training how to recognize that we were in a riptide.
