About Medal of Honor
The Medal of Honor (MOH) is the highest military decoration of the United States Armed Forces and is awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. The medal is normally awarded by the president of the United States and is presented "in the name of Congress." According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, Congressional Medal of Honor (CMOH) "is sometimes mistakenly used because the Medal was created by Congress," though the official name of the award is simply "Medal of Honor".
