# Choosing Courage: Inspiring Stories of What It Means to be a Hero

Brian Thacker met with 30 sixth-grade students to talk about his own war experience, why he was selected to receive the Medal of Honor. He read from "Choosing Courage, Inspiring Stories of What It Means to be a Hero" by Peter Collier, where one chapter describes a middle school teacher who put herself in the line of fire to protect her students from a disturbed teenager wielding a firearm in school and who later was given a Citizen's Medal of Honor.
