How to use "medal" in a sentence

Then one day I got back to the hospital and a Colonel Gooch said, 'Gump, we're going back to America together! You're going to see the President of the United States, and he's going to give you a medal because you were very brave.'

When we got there, he bought me a beer, and he was telling me about the President and my medal when something happened

At last the army man finished reading, and then the President came up and gave me the medal

Suddenly Jenny said, 'Did you know that Forrest won a medal?'

You can guess what I had to do, can't you? I had to throw away my medal with the other American soldiers

But because my medal was a more famous medal than theirs, it was more important to Jenny and her friends.

Oh, I threw my medal away, OK - but it hit somebody really important! One of the President's men! So they threw me into prison.
