The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against
an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the
Armed Services of the United States. Generally presented to its recipient
by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress,
it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The fate of nations often hangs in the balance during great battles,
which in turn often hinge upon the actions of great men or even those of
a single towering and heroic individual. Medal of Honor recipients are
the type of men who alone can turn a battle and bring a nation immeasurably
closer to victory. The debt of gratitude due them is endless. |
