There was a special eight-page “advertising supplement” tucked into the rear of Sunday’s Washington Post. “Section R” was crammed with the details and history of those who have displayed enough “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States” to earn the Medal of Honor.

Be even more special if the only two full-page advertisers weren’t Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
