Valor Bravery Medal Describes Personal Face Danger Gun

word valor
definition Personal bravery in the face of danger.
eg_sentence The gun duels of the Old West were invented by a novelist inspired by the valor of the knights in medieval tournaments.
explanation Valor in uniform is still rewarded by medals. Many American civic organizations award a Medal of Valor for physical courage, and the Air Force Medal of Honor displays the single word “Valor.” The somewhat old-fashioned adjective valorous more often describes warriors of the past. But valiant is still in common use, though it less often describes military courage than other kinds of bravery or effort.
