National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation Charity Talks

Christopher Cassidy, the President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation (“NMOHMF”), is this episode’s guest. Chris attended the U.S. Naval Academy and became a Navy SEAL, before becoming a commander of SEAL units in Afghanistan. After Chris left the SEALs, he joined NASA as an astronaut, flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavor and Russian Soyuz spacecraft, commanded the International Space Station, and eventually rose to NASA’s Chief Astronaut.  In total, Chris has spent the fifth most time of any human being in space.  After leaving the military, Chris was tapped to lead the NMOHMF.  During the podcast, Chris and Brooke discuss how the museum (which recently broke ground in Arlington, Texas) came to be, how it will honor the 3,511 Medal of Honor recipients, and how a monument to be built in Washington, D.C. by the NMOHMF, as well as the Foundation’s Leadership Institute, will share the stories of these incredible heroes with current and future generations.  (0:26).
