Before Wednesday’s nationally televised NHL game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins, The Lightning welcomed 46 recipients of the Medal Of Honor onto the ice for an emotional ceremony.

The recipients ranged from World War II through soldiers from the war on terror. It was an incredible thing to watch.

You can watch the entire video below, including a 96 year old World War II vet drop the first puck of the night.
