About this episode
In this episode, we break down the new U.S. law that triples lifetime pensions for living Medal of Honor recipients, raising their annual support to roughly the mid-$60,000 range to better match their real-world needs. We also explore what this change signals about how the nation values extraordinary heroism and how it might shape future conversations around benefits for other veterans.
