What does the word honor mean to you?

Invisible respect that is carried or symbolized by a item, person , or place.

For me, Honor is something we do to recognize someone else. We honor somebody, for example, by hanging their portrait up where people can see and ask about and when they ask we honor the person by telling what is was about them that made them important enough for us to hold them in such high place. The things he achieved and the people he influenced.


Here, in lieu of answering both questions, I will give a comparison between Honor and Respect as I see it and that all can understand...I Honor all Veterans for serving our Country in whatever way they did so, before coming home. Respect is almost the same as Honor, but before Respect one is honored. As an example I Honor and Respect our Fallen and our POW MIA's not only for their service, but for their sacrifice to me and to you. All should be help in the highest of Honor and Respect. Bring them all home!

In years back, they would say your word is your bond. Handshake deals were common in business. It's a quality that we seem to have lost for the most part. Honor means one follows through with principles based on common sense and respect. You don't have to be religious to have honor. It comes from the heart.

Honor is the pride you have in yourself that you will not go against. It is your personal ideals and beliefs you will not compromise and will not distort. Your honor is what you are that you will never lie about or minimize even in the face of fear of devaluation of status to a person or group, becoming a pariah, or even for threat against your health or life.

The greatest honor was serving my country!

Honor is doing the right thing. Even if you're not going to get credit for doing it, and you probably wouldn't get in trouble for doing the wrong thing. It's doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

Honor means the ability to give and receive the respect of others,

Integrity of Self

Honor is standing by and defending a set of beliefs and values no matter what the outcome is or who it’s for.

Honor means being true to your word, having respect or being respectful.. Doing the right thing no matter what.
