Something is wrong when a Google search on Michael Jackson turns up more than 62 million hits, but few Americans have ever heard of our nation's oldest living Medal of Honor recipient, John Finn, who turns 100 this month. Great Americans is honored that we were asked by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to celebrate Independence Day by sharing this timeless profile in patriotism as an online video exclusive.

In creating the Medal of Honor, Abraham Lincoln said, “Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.” Our partnership with the Medal of Honor Society reflects our commitment to honoring our nation's real heroes for their courage, sacrifice and patriotism. We hope you are enriched and inspired by John Finn's remarkable story, which embodies the phrase "home of the brave" in our national anthem. Here are more videos honoring our heroic Medal of Honor recipients.

Freedom has to be earned -- and appreciated -- by every generation. You can help us reach America with the stories of those who defend our freedoms by joining our Facebook community.

Happy Independence Day,
