On the other hand, many of the incidents have been related by officers who were witnesses to the deeds of their subordinates, and who had the facility to describe them in the manner they deserved, but without exaggeration or embellishment. The Congressional Medal of Honor is thus the nation's grateful acknowledgment of heroic deeds performed in its behalf. 'Deeds of Valor' records for posterity those thrilling deeds from the Civil War."
