🪖 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 🇺🇸 #USAFA honors Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Lance P. Sijan, Class of 1965, whose courage and sacrifice continue to shape the Cadet Wing. A fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, Sijan was shot down over Laos and evaded capture for weeks despite life-threatening injuries. Even after being captured, he resisted exploitation and upheld his duty to fellow prisoners under unimaginable conditions. His actions represent the very foundation of the #WarriorEthos and the standard cadets strive to uphold. #MedalOfHonorDay #LongBlueLine #LeadersOfCharacterAndQuality #WarfightersToWin #SemperSupra #MOH
