Medal of Honor Winner 鈥?Tom Cruise. What did he get it for?

I heard on the E! channel the other night that Tom Cruise won the Freedom Medal of Valor. I know this is the highest honor that the military awards its heroes. What military battle did he fight in to receive this award? I know he gained a lot of air combat experience during his Top Gun filming. Did he fly Tomcat missions in Iraq that were classified by the government?Medal of Honor Winner 鈥?Tom Cruise. What did he get it for?
The Congressional Medal of Honor can only be awarded to military personnel. The medal Tom Cruise got was something else.



I have no idea why he was given a medal; but then I have no idea why he was listed among the 100 greatest Americans by the Discovery Channel a years ago.
Wrong, he did not receive the "Medal of Honor". The award he received was from his Scientolgy cult.



http://www.scientology.org/Medal of Honor Winner 鈥?Tom Cruise. What did he get it for?
You are completely wrong. The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest military honor. The church of Scientology gave Tom Cruise a so called Freedom Medal of Valor for his service to his church. It has nothing to do with the military or government.
They are not the same thing. The Freedom Medal of Valor is NOT the Medal of Honor that is awarded to the military. His award was presented by the church of Scientology.Medal of Honor Winner 鈥?Tom Cruise. What did he get it for?
Tom Cruise HAS NEVER served in the United States Armed Forces and therefore DID NOT get

the Congressional Medal Of Honor, which is the Highest US Military Award that can be awarded to

any US Military Person.

The Freedom Medal of Valor is awarded to people who are with the Church of Scientology.

The reason for the medal is unknown to this person.
its not a military award; you should google it... it is the highest award for scientology.. tom cruise is an idiot and the award is stupid... it has nothing to do with the military or anything else... and scientology is a not even a religion.. imagine the pope holding a big black tie event to celebrate the priest who converted the most people to catholicism...
Take your medication.
Tom Cruise wasn't in the military and never won any medal

for valor.

He might have been awarded a medal for the silliest performance when he was Oprah's show.
Medal of Honor and Medal of Valor aren't the same I guess he got his medal for making movies or something.
Tom Cruise received the IAS Freedom Medal of Valor. It is given out by the International Association of Scientologists.



It has nothing to do with the Medal of Honor used to honor this nation's heroes.
I don't know what the "Freedom Medal of Valor" is... but it is NOT the Congressional Medal of Honor.
you have named two different Medals so which one did he get? never mind i know he didn't get the Medal of Honor.

What Game for the Wii would I be better off with? Medal of Honor heroes 2 or COD World at war?

i want to know based on online capabilities and enviroments, i dont always like dark and gloomy levels, i like brighter levels so i can see better.What Game for the Wii would I be better off with? Medal of Honor heroes 2 or COD World at war?
You have to break it down. MOHH2 is dying and fewer people play on it each day. Since Call of Duty came out, people buy that more, and there are more weapons, and a better storyline. When The Conduit comes out, MOHH2 will be a dead game.
COD:WAW because MOH:H2 is dead now, not that many people play it is strange because allot of people had buy-ed that game.

and found out the game is rubbish let me till you why it may have "32" player but yeah quantity over Quality. the highest I seen it go was about 1200 people but now it's like the high 400 there are hundreds of glitches, the hit detection is very horrid, had the game from week one, so don't say i suck. the character models suck as well as the animations. you well get stuck on walls most of the time. it gets jumpy here and there depending on the other people.

the only reason I and most others still play is because of the funny glitches. dont get MOH:H2 get COD:WAW What Game for the Wii would I be better off with? Medal of Honor heroes 2 or COD World at war?
I personally prefer CoD WaW. I love this game and everything about it :)
totaly call of duty. metal of honor has the worst graphics, + in cod u get a FLAMETHROWER. (that will become a noob tube)What Game for the Wii would I be better off with? Medal of Honor heroes 2 or COD World at war?
i prefer medal of honor 2

Does anyone know about Panzerknacker from the Medal of Honor series?

it isnt a person its a rocket launcher!

Is medal of honor still worth getting a this point?

Well even though medal of unit came out a long time ago I'm still really curious on playing it even though I already have black ops and my plan is that if I get to at least 10th prestige or 15th I'll go to medal of honor some questions I hav bout moh

鈥o a lot of people still play it on the 360

鈥hat is the ranking system like for example in black ops u level then u prestigeIs medal of honor still worth getting a this point?
Well online you have three classes; rifleman, spec ops, and sniper. You level up by using each class. Each class can only be leveled up by using it in online matches. There is no prestige because each class levels up independently. There are still plenty of people that play online including myself. The replay value of MoH campaign is so-so. I have not replayed it but I'm sure some people do. I recommend that if you have a few bucks to waste go for it. But if you're one of those that picks his games very carefully then don't.

    ok i have been looking at videos of the new medal of honor and i was wondering what is a beta trial/gameplay ? and is it for 360, if so how do i get it ?What is a beta for medal of honor ?
    It basically means the developers and testing the game to see if it has any bugs and weather or not people like it before they release the full game.

    Why is the medal of honor awarded after death so often?

    Isent that what the purple heart is for?Why is the medal of honor awarded after death so often?
    The medal of honor isn't awarded to everyone who dies, only those who "distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." It has only been awarded 6 times in the war on terror and it is only a coincidence that all of them are posthumous.



    The purple heart is awarded to any member of the u.s. military who is killed or wounded on duty.
    While all the above answers are true,I just want to mention that many years ago there was an actor named Audie Murphy. While he was in the army,he received every medal the Army offered with only one exception, The Good Conduct Medal. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.Why is the medal of honor awarded after death so often?
    Because to do something to warrant a medal of honor usually requires doing something so ill advised that the average individual would never do it, or they have just defied orders on such a level that success in what they did would have defied all expectations.
    The Medal of Honor is only awarded for extreme acts of bravery and gallantry. These are very dangerous, so often the person doing them is seriously injured or dies.Why is the medal of honor awarded after death so often?
    Purple heart is for injury.



    Medal of honor can be awarded after death if the person died doing something honorable.

    In your opinion what is better the Nobel Prize or the Medal of Honor?

    What is more honorary?In your opinion what is better the Nobel Prize or the Medal of Honor?
    Medal of Honor. The Nobel Prize is a very political "Prize" as evidenced by Obama getting one his first year in office.
    President Obama recieved a Nobel Peace Prize Award for being the First Black President and also for his Intelligence.

    In your opinion what is better the Nobel Prize or the Medal of Honor?
    Nobel Peace Prize.

    Leaders have always been able to trick commoners into going into battle to obtain ribbons and medals. Do you think people give a **** about military men and women in this country? I mean really?

    You think preferential hiring is because the corporations care about them, or is it to make other commoners who didn't serve more willing to spend their money with said corporations once they see that they 'prefer to hire veterans'?

    A medal of honor in the wars these days means all you did was fight and die for oil and 'strategic interest'. Nobel prize winners contribute something real, whereas medals of honor only fuel the illegal wars we have going on today.
    Nobel Prize winners leave behind a legacy of knowledge that benefits all future generations of humanity. I would gladly trade 1000 Medals of Honor for 1 Nobel Prize in Physics. Pauli receive the Nobel Prize in 1945 for work that all modern chemists use. How many Medal of Honor winners from the same period (WW2) are still remembered?In your opinion what is better the Nobel Prize or the Medal of Honor?
    No comparison. They each have a different meaning. The Medal of Honor, goes to deserving Military People. Soldiers who have done Great things and deserve Special Recognition. Where as the Nobel Peace Prize, goes to Citizens for doing great things. Both Are Great !!!! Just need to place each one where they belong.
    The Medal of Honor has all of my respect. Read about any of the recipients and you will understand what this medal really means to all of us.



    The Nobel Prize obviously can be bought these days. Sad because at one time it meant something to the world.
    The Nobel Prize lost all credibility when they gave Obama the Peace Prize.



    The Medal of Honor is earned, and earned the hard way.
    I would respect a Medal of Honor winner far more than a Nobel Prize winner simply because the Nobel organization has lost all their credibility by giving awards for popularity and political correctness rather than merit.
    The Medal of Honor is real, the Nobel prize is merely an award to leftists from other leftists for being the most anti American,
    Nobel Prize - its international, hard to obtain, and a powerful message.



    Despite the fact some of the categories reward some utter buffoons (Barrack Obama for....what?)
    Medal of honor , because you have to do something of great honor to be awarded it . not so for the nobel prize
    The Medal of Honor - for sure. The Nobel prize is just a bunch of Norwegians with money.
    All Nobel Prizes, except the peace prize, which lost all of it's credibility back in 2009.
    Both are insignificant anymore to be perfectly honest.



    Both have been soiled by this President.
    The biggest honor is one of those soccer trophies you get as long as your mother pays the league fee.
    Medal of Honor no question!!!
    The medal of Honor OF COURSE.

    The nobel (noval-ue) prize is worthless.

    If someone were to find a congressional medal of honor?

    In something like a storage facility. Like those people who go out and buy those things after someone missed payments on them. Would it be illegal for them to keep it? I heard that someone found a storage locker filled with old war medals. The kind you can buy at auctions for a lot of money and it made me wonder what would be the process if a CMH was found.If someone were to find a congressional medal of honor?
    To simply find and posses one is not a crime.
    The Crime is when you attempt to pass off the Medal as one that you have been awarded and earned. That falls under the Stolen Valor act.

    If I were to find a MoH ....Yes it's the Medal of Honor (MoH), not the Congressional Medal Of Honor (CMH)... I would attempt to find out who it belonged to and return it to him or his surviving family.
    If unable to locate the man or any relatives, I would turn it over to the local Veterans organization.

    Concerning MoH vs CMH
    It is bestowed by the President, in the name of Congress, upon members of the United States Armed Forces. As the award citation includes the phrase "in the name of Congress", it is sometimes erroneously called the Congressional Medal of Honor; however, the official title is simply the Medal of Honor.

    The Stolen Valor Act has been deemed to be unconstitutional so its legal to lie and pose as a military soldier and veteran.



    Its The Medal of Honor, Congress only approves the awarding of the award.



    Its illegal to BUY, SELL a M o H, unless its your award, or legally given / left to you by the original recipient.



    Its NOT illegal to sell if you live outside the USA.If someone were to find a congressional medal of honor?
    It is a felony to own/display a CMOH...unless you earned it. That is because the CMOH carries with it a Federal Pension (around $1,250/month if I remember). It is also punishable under the Stolen Valor Act.



    The correct thing to do is turn it over to the authorities.

    Medal of Honor is alot of fun and is more brutal than cod. by that i mean theres more blood and some weapons have the power to blow off heads wich is wicked bad ***. alot of fools bit-h about how the game is linear or too short or too easy. and there right. it does have flaws but u get into it. this was the most fun i had with a shooter since playing rsv2. do yourself a favor and rent this game. i beat it on hard in seven hours.What should I buy, Medal of Honor 1 or 2 for the PSP?

    Should George Washington be awarded the medal of honor?

He did more for America than any other person in history, and there is a petition(which I encourage everyone to sign) that will be sent to congress asking that he be awarded the medal.

    http://www.petitiononline.com/jb921gw/petition.htmlShould George Washington be awarded the medal of honor?
    He is the highest ranking American officer of all time, has both a state and the U.S. capital named for him, has his own monument (which is bigger than everyone else's), and is on the dollar bill. He's been dead for 209 years. I don't think he needs the Medal of Honor.



    Why don't you go sign that petition to get Dick Winters the MOH, at least he is alive enough to appreciate it.Should George Washington be awarded the medal of honor?
    write the citationShould George Washington be awarded the medal of honor?
    No George does not qualify for the Medal of Honor.

    If you read the requirements you will see that even though he was the one person mostly responsible for our freedom, he did not do the things required for a Medal of Honor.

    Lots of people who have done very courageous things do not rise to the level of a Medal of Honor.

    His position and actions would most likely get him a Distinguished Service Medal.

I played online the first time and it wasn't good. I was getting owned and it wasn't very noob friendly. I gave it a chance and played for a straight 5 hours, it was "ok". It isn't awesome, its a game I would play every now and then, the developers were really lazy and didn't put a great deal of work into it. I immediately switched to cod.

    If so, who are they and what branch?Are there any ACTIVE DUTY military members with the Medal of Honor?
    No, there are no active duty Medal of Honor recipients. In the source area I provided a link to a website that lists all of the living Medal of Honor recipients for each branch of service. You can see how many from each branch recieved the award, and also there is a link on that page that you can choose which branch you want to see each of the names that are still alive. You can even see the citation for which they were put in for the award.



    Edit: Yes, Jimmy and Carlos are both correct. The very few that have recieved the award in the two wars we have going on, were awarded it postumously. (After death)



    But there are no living active duty Medal of Honor winner recipients. Hope this helps.
    This question does not seem to be resolved. There is at least one Medal of Honor recipient still on active duty. Perhaps he is the only one. He is US Army Col. Gordon R. Roberts.

    No.

    Look it up online. It probably has to do with sacraficing yourself to save those around you. The only people I know of who have gotten it and lived are people who jumped on a grenande that ended up to be a dud to save their friends.
    The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government, similar to the British Victoria Cross or the French Legion of Honor. It is bestowed on a member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself "鈥onspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States鈥?quot; Because of its nature, the medal is commonly awarded posthumously.



    On July 25,1963 Congress established a set of guidelines under which the Medal of Honor could be awarded:

    a.) while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;

    b.) while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or,

    c.) while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.



    http://www.cmohs.org/medal.htmCan someone tell me what are the criteria for awarding the congressional medal of Honor.?
    First, it is the Medal of Honor... it is NOT the Congressional MoH:



    There are two distinct means for awarding the Medal of Honor. The first and most common is nomination by a service member in the chain of command, followed by approval at each level of command. The other method is nomination by a member of Congress (generally at the request of a constituent) and approval by a special act of Congress. In either case, the Medal of Honor is presented by the President on behalf of the Congress. Although commonplace, the term "Congressional Medal of Honor" is not correct.



    OTHERS posted the correct criteria for the award
    From AR 600-8-22, paragraph 3-7b:

    "The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President in the name of Congress to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit."Can someone tell me what are the criteria for awarding the congressional medal of Honor.?
    Medals are not as good as survival but I am sure the regs are probably posted online.

    Are there any ACTIVE DUTY military members with the Medal of Honor?

    If so, who are they and what branch?Are there any ACTIVE DUTY military members with the Medal of Honor?
    Nope,



    But Gen. James T. Conway, Commandant of the US Marine Corps has ordered a review of a valor case that, if approved, would result in the first award of the Medal of Honor in the war on terrorism to a living recipient.



    The Marine has not been named, all that is known, is he is at Camp Pendleton.Are there any ACTIVE DUTY military members with the Medal of Honor?
    Everyone here is wrong. The is 1 active duty Soldier who received the medal of honor. His name is Colonel Gordon R. Roberts. He currently is assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I included a link to see his biography.

    Due to the time it takes to process the paperwork for a Medal of Honor, many service members who earn it are out of the service by the time they even get it. Also, as far as I know the few Medals of Honor that have been rewarded for OIF/OEF have been posthumous.

    Medal of Honor will butt rape CoD any day. Back in the day of the ps2, MoH was my bytch
    Please rent it first. I went to the midnight release at gamestop and bought it without trying it. The

    videos and all of the hype made me think that it was gonna be awesome. WRONG. If you have played modern warfare 2 you will be extremely disappointed. I am still trying to make myself like it but it just isnt as cool as i thought it would be. Still it is very cool that real special forces had a hand in creating the game, unfortunately they are good at killing people and not at designing video games. Keep that in mind.What are your opinions on Medal of Honor 2010?
    I rented it and only played the single player. I thought it was okay. Not terrible but nothing that made me say "I gotta buy this". What I like most was the action of the soldiers towards the end. The frame rate was pretty bad at the end and the A.I. was just dumb.

    It took me a couple of minutes of watching the game to allow me to realize that it was talking about the task forces during Operation Anaconda in the opening stages of Afghanistan. However it has been dramatized up so much it barely resembles the actual operation. The two teams of Delta and DEVGRU operators in real life were team Juliet, India, and Mako 31. Such events as Takur Ghar also took place during the operation, along with the taking of Bagram Airbase. But these are all dramatized so much that is how no realism at all.What is Tier 1 pertaining to the new Medal of Honor game?
    Simply put, Tier 1 is best of the best. To loosely quote Greg Goodrich from my references link - "A Tier 1 operator represents the "scalpel".

    Medal of Honor and Call of Duty are about the same thing.



    The Medal Of Honor series, however, tends to use the same themes and gameplay.



    Call Of Duty series is more about realism. And they use different gameplay with different themes. For instance, Call Of Duty 4 is set in the Middle East, during present times. MoH has stuck to WWII Germany since it came out, 10 years ago.

    What was the name of the Congressional Medal of Honor winner on the Kennedy Center Honors show December 26?

    He was a World War II veteran, and one of the veterans on the stage during the presentation for Steven Spielberg.What was the name of the Congressional Medal of Honor winner on the Kennedy Center Honors show December 26?
    Not sure who it was but here is the reason it is called the congressional medal of Honor because it is awarded by the President on Behalf of congress. So it seems Congress does have a little something to do with it.



    The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States. It is often colloquially referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor because the President presents the award "in the name of the Congress".



    So congress does have a little bit to do with it which means tattoo980927 ran his mouth like he knew everything but he is really a idiot.What was the name of the Congressional Medal of Honor winner on the Kennedy Center Honors show December 26?
    I don't know, but it is the Medal of Honor. There is no Congressional before it. I don't know why people started putting the Congressional before it. congress has nothing to do with it. There is a committee with the Joint Chiefs who determine if someone has earned it. The president presents the medal to the recipient(or most likely his family, as the majority who earn a MOH died doing so). Why people think Congress has something to do with it I do not know.



    Interesting note. Medal of Honor recipients are the only people who rate salutes from everyone in the chain of command from the top to bottom. If a private earned the MOH, he would rate a salute from everyone to the President. It is a sign of respect given to those who commit great acts of bravery with the knowledge they will likely be killed doing so.

    Smedley ButlerWhat Medal of Honor Recipient made this quote?
    Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 鈥?June 21, 1940), nicknamed "The Fighting Quaker" and "Old Gimlet Eye," was a Major General in the U.S. Marine Corps and, at the time of his death, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history.



    During his 34 years of Marine Corps service, Butler was awarded numerous medals for heroism including the Marine Corps Brevet Medal (the highest Marine medal at its time for officers), and subsequently the Medal of Honor twice. Notably, he is one of only 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, and one of only three to be awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor for two different actions.



    In addition to his military career, Smedley Butler was noted for his outspoken anti-interventionist views, and his book War is a Racket. His book was one of the first works describing the workings of the military-industrial complex and after retiring from service, he became a popular speaker at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists and church groups in the 1930s.



    In 1934, he informed the United States Congress that a group of wealthy industrialists had plotted a military coup known as the Business Plot to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Why do I suck at Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii?

    I need some tips on how to get better at this game. Whenever I try to take head shots, I keep knocking off others' helmets instead of killing them.

    when you snipe aim for the center or the coners of the helments. always use the crosshair.

    if they are running across from you far away shoot ahead of them it will always hit them it will delay sometimes, timing is everything shoot first or get shot yourself.

    I just got it too and what I do is practice in unranked games. There isn't enough time to use sight to shoot unless it's from a distance. What works is aiming slightly in front of the direction they're going above the neck while circling around them to avoid shots, always keep moving don't hold down the trigger, fire in bursts. Good guns for beginners are thompson, mp, bar, stg. Bazooka is cheap IMO I don't use it. Everyone sucks at first but obviously the more you play the better you know the maps and the better you get at aiming.

    You cannot "legally" buy a Medal of Honor (by the way, you just gave yourself away on your patriotism). There is only one company that makes them and right now they are in a heap of trouble for selling thousands for exorbitant amounts. By the way, what branch of the service was it.

    Medal of Honor medals are earned, not bought, and they are bought with great acts of selflessness and heroism..

    Wearing it can get you 6 months in jail. The FBI would be happy to arrest you for fraudulent wearing of it.
    ANYONE who asks this question doesn't know what a Medal of Honor truly means. it means that a person either has or came very close to giving his life for his country during a great act of bravery.

    you might be able to wear it in the house but your lucky that you haven't been decked yet while your wearing it

    if you didn't earn it DON'T ******* WEAR IT EVER
    $50.00, huh? My bet is that is quite a bargain from the price the actual servicemember who earned it paid (probably paid with his life).



    This question is sad. I prefer your others questions that have a touch of sillyness.
    The CMH is an award for heroism in battle.It not some trinket to be picked up and worn like a piece of costume jewelry.You could get in trouble wearing it in public.Not just with the local veterans but it is a felony to impersonate a soldier.You could face ten years in prison and a$100,000 fine.Buying the medal does not give you the right to wear it.If you want one so badly,Join the military and earn one for yourself.Then you will understand why people get upset when you casually wear it.
    Thats not something you just wear around without doing anything, its pretty disgraceful that you don't see anything wrong with this.
    The Medal of Honor is the most distinguished and coveted award that a service member can get. Just about every recipient of this award gave their life or came close to it performing sefless acts to save the lives of others. It's extremely disrespectful for you to wear this award as if it's nothing. Veterans get upset and will continue to get upset because when you wear that medal you are spitting in their faces, and on the graves of those that recieved that medal.



    I'm also sure that you are either lying or definately have a fake, because nobody would sell one at a yard sell.
    Let me see you wearing it, you wont be for long. How about you take yourself up to the recruiter and make the sacrifice like the rest of us that has served our great country. The men that received those medals have sacrificed so much.
    Title 18 of the U.S. Code prohibits non recipients from wearing The Medal of Honor you could be arrested and charged and receive up to six months jail time and a fine, this also applies to unauthorized wearing of the Distinguished service Cross, Navy Cross and Air Force Cross. (Note: there is no such thing as a CMH or Congressional Medal of Honor it is the Medal of Honor and is awarded by act of Congress . and their are no Medal of Honor winners they are Medal of Honor Recipients ) Nobody ever won this medal most Died to receive it.
    Its a dishonor to everyone who has earned that medel, that's so disrespectful if you want to wear one you should join the military and earn one, and I'm not an angry person but if i ever saw someone who did not earn it i would knock them the fu(k out. Its just a really rude thing to wear that, I suggest that you just keep it in a box in your house that would be best
    YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. The men who get the Medal of Honor or real heros. The Military personell who see you with it on take it as an insult when a civilian wants to take pride in one of their fellow soldiers doing. I prefer you dont where it.
    You should be ashamed of yourself , wearing something that another person earned through bravery and no doubt bloodshed. You were probably a draft dodger anyway. Anything more that I say will cause me to get a nasty note from yahoo, but I think you get my meaning.
    You are dealing with the same phenomenon with kilts. Wearing a kilt of a clan that is not your family's will offend many Scots. A medal of honor is just that - commending one for incredible bravery, and it is often awarded after death and given to the family. So you can see how folks may be very offended.



    That said, I agree that wearing such a thing is fun! It also keeps it out there, so to speak. Perhaps you could go back to where you got it and ask about its history. Then when people bug you, you can tell them the story - if it's legitimate.



    Be advised that you very well may be fined or jailed in certain areas for wearing the medal. It is THE HIGHEST HONOR awarded in the US military.



    The medal way also be a fake, as a company was selling bogus ones for $75 each.



    Other posters are rather rude to you, but they should keep in mind that the medal is not without its own controversies, including racial discrimination. And I served in the military, and I don't care how many honorable soldiers and airmen there are out there - the US military has its very serious defects, such as massive overspending. I did very much enjoy serving my country regardless.



    I like your renegade style - and be prepared to run or at least act dumb when confronted - or lie and say it was your grandfather's.



    You wear it at your own risk, but risks can be a real thrill!

    Does anyone else think Medal of Honor suck?

    What a disgusting of a game. If it wasn't for the battlefield 3 beta i would've never considered getting this game. I was not expecting a lot from medal of honor but I think there was too much hype before the release. And that japanese dude was quoted "ModernWarfare shooters have a competition now" like are you serious? I'm not a cod fanboy and I love EA(same developer of battlefield series) butthis game is plain bullshyt.Does anyone else think Medal of Honor suck?
    i was incredibly disappointed, but i'm stuck with the limited edition. i just don't play it and keep playing my Bad Company 2. it sucked
    it sucks more for the rest of the world who have learn't to spell honor Honour now we have to believe we have spelt it wrong because American Invansion is coming storming the world with this game and the spelling honour spelled wrong. but my question is in a foreign language is it spelled the american way or the british way.... i guess the british since 99 percent of the world follows engilsh and American Engilsh is just 4 americans. now that SUCKS.Does anyone else think Medal of Honor suck?
    dont have the game, but I have a few friends that had a hand in making the game, and they told me not to buy cause it was ****, so yeah. Heard it was terrible, lol at people thinking it was going to be crap (heard good stuff about black ops though, might wanna invest there.)
    is there a legitimate question in this ?

    or are you just off on a fanboy rant ?

    dont like the game ? dont buy it and ignore it simple as thatDoes anyone else think Medal of Honor suck?
    Lol all shooting games unreal? CoD seems pretty real to me at first(tell some jack *** computer use a rocket launcher and hit the tree, but I didn't die lol)

    But yea I love all MoH games. Every person have different taste in things
    I find all shooters to be pretty unreal nowadays so they kinda all suck if you want to play a serious game. Medal+Cod are both awesome games in terms of gameplay though.
    Yeah you are right about this one multiplayer is a joke graphics are horrible campaign is ok for about an hour or so and then its just same old same old.
    agreed
    haven't played it but everyone i talk to says it sucks

    What do you think of Medal of Honor's Online Multiplayer mode?

    I've been playing it for two days now and I think it's a hybrid of Battlefield BC 2 and Modern Warfare 2. And while it is a better multiplayer than Modern Warfare 2 I feel that it simply doesn't compare to the strategy and palm-sweating suspense of Battlefield BC 2. What's your opinion?What do you think of Medal of Honor's Online Multiplayer mode?
    I don't think they put enough effort into this game

    It's fun for a few days then it's garbage.



    If you want to buy this game I suggest you buy Bad Company 2.

    This is the result of rushing. Surprised to say infinity ward did a better job on MW2 than MOW

    Its very poor considering the hype - anyone thinking about buying it should save their money and wait the 2 or so weeks until Black Ops is out.



    - should have been in Full 1080 HD for a game of this period

    - maps are far too small for the graphics quality, leaving a shootout winner to be best reactor rather than the most skilled

    - too many lines of sight for snipers along common rat runs %26amp; spawn points

    - scoped in response is jerky and unprecise

    - physics are not right. Trying to stand still on some stairways, you end up sliding down!?

    - pointless use of Destruction 2.0 engine when there is little to no destruction

    - movement restriction when scoped in should be a good thing, but it is too restricted

    - Gun balancing issues need sorting out. You should not be able to be OSK'd by a shotgun across the map

    - Trophies all centre around number or kills and time spent playing, so no reason why everybody who has this game should not be getting an easy PlatinumWhat do you think of Medal of Honor's Online Multiplayer mode?

    -You asked what we thought and I gave my opinion. It's trying to compete with CoD. EA publishes Battlefield. They're going after Black Ops and they've failed.

    How do I get better at Medal of Honor: Heroes 2?

    I havent played in awhile here what I remember.

    if the ppl are moving side to side which is annoying, aim a little in front of them in the direction they are moving. because of a 1 sec lag the severs have. my best guns no doubt was the Thompson .45,

    the .45 pistol,

    shotgun

    Bazooka. yah!!

    mp40

    this is the order of the best gun to use.



    oh and work on your head shot that is crucial if u get cornered.How do I get better at Medal of Honor: Heroes 2?
    it depence in what gun your use to



    M1A1 Thompson - you can sneak on behind of people and shoot away it good beucas it one of the fasted gun but you have to reload which cause some deaths



    B.A.R -is slowy on shooting but kinda fast it has a long time before loading but your will waste you amo



    Shotgun -long time to reload but sever shots and they are dead it one of the strongest but kinda slowy



    Bazooka - it hard to handel but you kill solider in one blow and it only carries 3 amo



    Springfield Sniper rifle -it really good if you like staying away in a distance but you can get killed you someone with a fast gun comes



    M1 Garand - not fast but not slowy it good if you just like shooting at people its a easy gun to handelHow do I get better at Medal of Honor: Heroes 2?
    Most FPS involve shooting your opponent more than they can shoot you, except in games like Halo where your shields recharge if you avoid combat. Accurate shots are what's most important, then work on your firing speed.



    Also, try playing campaign mode a few times.

    What's the difference between Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare, and Halo?

    Also, which is better?What's the difference between Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare, and Halo?
    First off:



    Modern Warfare is a part of the Call of Duty franchise, just as much as Black Ops is.



    Medal of Honor (2010) is a great game, but lacks the multiplayer experience that Call of Duty offers.



    Halo is a Sci-Fi game compared to Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The guns are unrealistic (but cool) and the gravity is insane. Still a great game....thousands of people still play Halo 3.What's the difference between Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare, and Halo?
    The current CoD games are based in current time lines, unlike most of the medal of honor games.(Or all of them) Modern warfare is based off of.... well.... Modern Warfare. It uses real and current guns, locations and tactics. Modern warfare 2 is probably the most played First Person Shooter out there. Also the story lines are Excellent. The gameplay is also extremely realistic on the harder difficulties, and shows how often you would actually die in these situations.



    Halo, on the other hand, is set about 500 years in the future. It uses space travel, plasma technology, and aliens to get it's point across. It's story is pretty good for its setting, but quality varies from person to person. The weapons are extremely powered up(And down) from realistic applications. It also uses a rather low level of gravity, allowing huge(10-12 feet) jumps. Pretty much tied with CoD for online play.



    They are both Very unique stories, and games. I would recommend them both to almost anybody.



    Medal of honor is hit or miss. Some are good, some are bad. I personally don't like them at all. But they are close to CoD games.What's the difference between Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare, and Halo?
    Call of Duty and Modern Warfare are the same thing.

    Halo is a sci-fi shooter only on xbox.

    Medal of honor is a realistic shooter.
    that's easy halo is for noobs call of duty and modern warfare are the same thing and medal of honnor no one plays

    my mate said theres something bout new medal of honor that looks awesome what is it? he wont tell me he said someone played it and they said somethiing good bout it whats so good?Whats so great bout the new medal of honor?
    It's a cross between MW2, a fast-paced shooter, and BC2, a kind of tactical shooter. You get something that has constant action everywhere, unlike BC2, but which requires teamwork, unlike MW2. I played the MoH beta and it is okay but I will just get it for single player mainly because that will be sweeeeeet.Whats so great bout the new medal of honor?
    I thought it was just a cheap Bad Company 2, but once I tested the PC Beta version, it really wasn't. It has more action in it, the two maps I played were great and the guns are balanced.Whats so great bout the new medal of honor?
    this is what new about it:

    the guns from MOH are actual gun fires from real guns. MOH theamed up with the military to get this game going. so every gun shot you hear its how you would actually hear it in real life. they actually talked to some US soldiers and they asked for their opinions about the game and they said that they seen a game so good on like whats happening on the war right now. so DICE worked with the military to get this game going. P.S. i preordered my copy lol

    He was also awarded the French Corix de Guerre by the French government and was rumored to have won the Distinguished Service Cross as well.What was the name of the only animal to win a medal of honor in the army?
    A horse that carried a soldier in battle.
    why its the hermit crab of course. Just kidding, it's probably the homing pigeon, but the GI Joe answer is cool. The German Shepherd one is also a good choice..tell us oh please please tell us.What was the name of the only animal to win a medal of honor in the army?

    wasn't it a pigeon, from WWI. i cant remember its name, I'm just wondering if I'm right. lol

    I think the battle was argon forest or something like that.



    Im prob wrong, and i wont go any further with the birds story cuz if im wrong i'll feel stupider lol
    it's a horse, isn't it? i forget the name, though. or was it a bird? you are in the bird section questions.

    Why is Lady Liberty on the Medal of Honor?

    I saw that Medal of Honor day was on March 15 and I saw that there was a picture of Lady Liberty on it. What does it represent?Why is Lady Liberty on the Medal of Honor?
    THE ORIGINAL

    NAVY MEDAL OF HONOR

    The Navy's Medal of Honor was the first approved and the first designed. The initial work was done by the Philadelphia Mint at the request of Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. The Mint submitted several designs for consideration, and the one prepared by the Philadelphia firm of William Wilson %26amp; Sons was the design selected.



    The selected Medal of Honor design consisted of an INVERTED, 5-pointed STAR. On each of the five points was a cluster of LAUREL leaves to represent victory, mixed with a cluster of OAK to represent strength. Surrounding the encircled insignia were 34 stars, equal to the number of stars in the U.S. Flag at the time in 1862....one star for each state of the Union including the 11 Confederate states. The stars are also symbolic of the "heavens and the divine goal which man has aspired to since time immemorial" according to Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress back in 1777.

    Inside the circle of 34 stars were engraved two images. To the right is the image of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and war. On her helmet is perched an owl, representing WISDOM. In keeping with the Roman tradition, her left hand holds a bundle of rods and an ax blade, symbolic of authority. The shield in her right hand is the shield of the Union of our states (similar to the shield on our seal and other important emblems.)



    Recoiling from Minerva is a man clutching snakes in his hands. He represented DISCORD and the insignia came to be known as "Minerva Repulsing Discord". Taken in the context of the Civil War soldiers and sailors struggling to overcome the discord of the states and preserve the Union, the design was as fitting as it was symbolic.



    The ribbon that held the medal was originally a blue bar on top and 13 red and white stripes running vertically. The 13 represents the original 13 colonies. The color white represents purity and innocence, red represents hardiness, valor and blood, blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stripes also represent the rays of the sun. Since this time much of the symbolism in the Medal of Honor has not changed much. The Army MOH was created soon after the original Navy MOH in 1862. It included an Eagle, symbolizing the United States of America, was perched on a cannon and saber grasped in its talons.



    In 1904 the Gillespie version of the MOH included a simple portrait of a helmeted Goddess of War to replace the "Minerva repelling discord" scene. The red, white and blue ribbon was replaced with a light blue and 13 white stars. The 13 is once again the original 13 colonies.



    In 1919 the Tiffany Cross version of the MOH had a Maltese Cross instead of an inverted star. The Maltese Cross' eight points symbolize the 8 virtues of a knight. A cross itself also represents the four cardinal directions and the sun. This design was discontinued in 1942 due to its unpopularity



    In 1965 the Air Force MOH was created and it replaced the Minerva portrait with the head of the Statue of Liberty. Lady liberty has a pointed crown instead of a helmet. And she does stand for liberty although she is derived from the imagery of Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, and Queen of Babylon. Semiramis was famed for her beauty, strength, and wisdom and was said to have built the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon. She purportedly reigned for 42 years after taking control from Nimrod. She is a mythical figure who might be somewhat based upon a historical figure.





    Why is Lady Liberty on the Medal of Honor?
    That's only the Air Force Congressional Medal of Honor. There are three versions of the CMoH, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. As the Marine Corps is officially a branch of the Department of the Navy they receive the Navy CMoH.



    On the Army CMoH there's a picture of the Roman Goddess of War and Wisdom, Minerva. This first appeared in 1904, replacing the original scene of "Minerva Repelling Discord." Of course the change may have also been brought on by the fact that the CMoH was originally authorized for the Army AFTER it had been authorized for the Navy. http://www.cmohs.org/images/army2moh.jpg鈥?/a>



    The Navy and Marine Corps still use the original CMoH scene. The reason for the scene had to do with the fact that the CMoH was created during the Civil War. The symbolism was the fight to preserve the Union in the discord brought on by the secession of the Confederate states and the war. http://www.cmohs.org/images/navy2moh.jpg



    The Air Force CMoH does have Lady Liberty stand for liberty. She also symbolizes Semiramis, the Queen of Babylon who was famed for her "beauty, strength, and wisdom" and was said to have created the famed Hanging Gardens of Babylon. http://www.cmohs.org/images/usaf2moh.jpg

    What is the process for awarding the medal of honor?

    I was also wondering why there aren't more recipients from Afganistan and Iraq.What is the process for awarding the medal of honor?
    It is routed up to the chain of command for review. At any point it can be down graded if the commander feels the award isn't merited. The recommendations that do reach the highest levels are assigned an independent review board that is tasked with verifying the information in the proposed award citation and/or recommendation. There has been a raising of standards of awards in the last decade. The number of valor awards per capita is dramatically lower than in all previous modern wars (since WWII). Some feel that is is also a result that there have been fewer sustained campaigns where pitched battles last weeks or months and there are fewer opportunities to "earn" a valor award of any sort. There has also been debate that in order to receive one of the big three (MoH, DSC, or SS) that you have to have a "clean" background.



    This who ideology surrounding awards stems from the 1991 Gulf War and the conflict involving the Rangers in Somalia where many felt that too many awards were given out in comparison to the short duration of the operation. This has led to elevating awards to such a high level as to make them virtually unattainable beyond the Bronze Star level. Case in point, 242 Medals of Honor were issued in Vietnam and only 6 have been given out since 9/11 all posthumously.
    the awarding of the MOH has extremely high standards. things really have to be above and beyond the call of duty.



    that or have your friendly fire death covered up by commanding general.What is the process for awarding the medal of honor?
    It's extremely hard. In Iraq, a Marine Lance Corporal was on patrol when his convoy got ambushed. The Marines dismounted their vehicles and engaged the enemy (which was about 75 yards away, hiding behind a mound of dirt). This lance corporal's Sergeant pursued the enemy and about halfway to the dirt burm they were hiding behind, he got shot. The Lance Corporal hopped off of his vehicle and ran about 40 yards to get his Sergeant. He got there, pick him up and started running. While running with his seargeant, he was shot in the side and he dropped his sergeant. He picked him up again and kept running with him. He then got shot in the neck and dropped his Sgt. again. He picked him up AGAIN and finally made it to safety and when the medic began looking at him, he yelled for the medic to look at his sergeant first.



    This Marine survived and was rewarded the Silver Star. Now, if that doesn't warrant a Medal of Honor, I don't know what does.
    Just to add a note to the other excellent answers. There has been many articles written and a few web sites started concerning the appearance that the MOH has become a posthumous award. Many believe that certain people are afraid to have a living hero. You only have to look at the Silver Stars that have been issued in the current conflict and compare them to earlier MOH write ups to realize there is a disparity. Many of our heroes are not today getting the recognition they deserve.What is the process for awarding the medal of honor?

    (The Medal of Honor, established by Joint Resolution of

    Congress, 12 July 1862 (amended by Act of 9 July 1918 and Act of 25 July 1963) is awarded in the name of Congress to person who, while a member of the Army, distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party (figure 1). The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit. Eligibility is limited to members of the Army of the United States in active Federal military service.)

    This comes from the Army, but a service member from any branch can be awarded the MOH. The requirements are the same.



    Cpl. Jason Dunham, USMC, was the last person awarded the MOH.
    Point 1. Pass a spelling Bee.



    Point 2. Its more correctly known as the Medal Of Hon our.



    Don't know where you get the "Congressional" bit fromWhat would you have to do to get the Congetional Medal of Honor?
    In a word, do something gloriously stupid that saves other peoples lives, usually at the expense of your own.
    There is, at times, a VERY fine line between getting the Congressional Medal of Honor (CMOH) and getting a Court Martial.

    Old friend of mine (older than me by 4 years) rescued 2 Navy pilots in N. Viet Nam. He was at one point ordered to return to his ship. He stayed and made more than one attempt to land, even tried to hover and pick them up through the trees. When Clyde landed on the USS Jouett (almost out of fuel) he still had branches and leaves in his wheels/struts. His wife brought out the citation one night and she said the citation doesn't really cover all that went on. His CO originally wanted to court martial him for disobeying an order, but the 2 pilots' CO put him in for the CMOH.

    Clyde passed away back in '94.

    He eventually had a ship named after him around 2001 or 2002. USS Lassen DDG-82.

    There have been 2 MOH awarded in Iraq. One in 2003 and one in 2004, to the best of my knowledge, but I'm sure you can do a google.com search to verify that.

    (USN, retired/in-country Viet Nam vet)What would you have to do to get the Congetional Medal of Honor?
    You have to do something above and beyond the call of duty unless you are a General. Gen.Westmorland got one and he never faced danger in his entire life which was an insult to all the people he sent to their death for his.

    It is usually given posthumously, so you don't really want one, because you are probably dead.
    Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith



    B Company, 11th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division, United States Army



    For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:



    Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with an armed enemy near Baghdad International Airport, Baghdad, Iraq on 4 April 2003. On that day, Sergeant First Class Smith was engaged in the construction of a prisoner of war holding area when his Task Force was violently attacked by a company-sized enemy force. Realizing the vulnerability of over 100 fellow soldiers, Sergeant First Class Smith quickly organized a hasty defense consisting of two platoons of soldiers, one Bradley Fighting Vehicle and three armored personnel carriers. As the fight developed, Sergeant First Class Smith braved hostile enemy fire to personally engage the enemy with hand grenades and anti-tank weapons, and organized the evacuation of three wounded soldiers from an armored personnel carrier struck by a rocket propelled grenade and a 60mm mortar round. Fearing the enemy would overrun their defenses, Sergeant First Class Smith moved under withering enemy fire to man a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a damaged armored personnel carrier. In total disregard for his own life, he maintained his exposed position in order to engage the attacking enemy force. During this action, he was mortally wounded. His courageous actions helped defeat the enemy attack, and resulted in as many as 50 enemy soldiers killed, while allowing the safe withdrawal of numerous wounded soldiers. Sergeant First Class Smith’s extraordinary heroism and uncommon valor are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the Third Infantry Division “Rock of the Marne,” and the United States Army.
    Theres been a few during Iraq, their just not on the TV because heroism isn't a good thing to liberals.



    But most people get them from jumping on a grenade, sacrifice at its best.
    You would have to rescue an islamist terrorist to get a medal from the congressional leadership.

    What are any of the privileges and rewards given to Medal of Honor recipients?

    I'm talking about things like,

    Courtesies and Privileges Afforded Medal of Honor Recipients



    1. Enlisted personnel who are awarded the Medal of Honor are authorized one automatic promotion if not already serving in the highest enlisted grade.



    2. Each recipient receives a monthly pension from the Department of Veterans Affairs.



    3. Enlisted recipients who retire with 20 or more years of service receive a 10 percent increase in retired pay, not to exceed the 75 percent maximum [that a retiree with 30 or more years of service can receive].



    4. Recipients are issued a special Medal of Honor Travel and Identification Card signed by the Service Secretary. This entitles recipients who are not on active duty and not military retirees to use space-available military air transportation.



    5. Unlike [active duty and reserve] military personnel and retirees, Medal of Honor recipients may wear their uniforms at any time or place they choose. They receive a special uniform issue in conjunction with this privilege.



    6. Recipients who are not on active duty and not military retirees are issued a DoD Identification Card, as are their dependents. It authorizes them military commissary, post exchange, and theater privileges. All of the Services, consistent with DoD policy, authorize use of morale, welfare and recreation activities, including honorary club membership without dues.



    7. Children of Medal of Honor recipients are not subject to quotas if they are qualified and desire to attend one of the U.S. military academies.



    8. All Medal of Honor recipients, as members of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, receive invitations to attend Presidential inaugurations and accompanying festivities. Military recipients and those who are civil servants have traditionally been authorized administrative absence in lieu of chargeable leave to attend.



    9. Some States have special license plates for Medal of Honor recipients.



    10. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides a special engraved headstone for deceased recipients of the Medal of Honor.



    11. Many installation commanders memorialize deceased Medal of Honor recipients by naming streets, buildings, or halls in their honor.



    12. Medal of Honor recipients should be accorded on-base billeting commensurate with the prestige associated with the Medal of Honor.



    And getting saluted, as mentioned already - by enlisted and officers alike.
    Brycey,



    Three things to consider about Medal of Honor recipients:



    1. Many (about half) were awarded the medal posthumously. Many others were seriously wounded when they earned it.

    2. Generally, they saved the lives of other military members when they earned the medal.

    3. They displayed exceptional heroism when they earned the Medal.



    Those who have earned the award were recommended by others - they cannot apply for it themselves.



    The regulations posted by another answerer were voted into place by Congress.



    For their exceptional heroism and saving the lives of others, I say let them have the privileges, and thank them for their service.



    BTW - of the three Medals of Honor awarded for the Global War on Terrorism, two were awarded posthumously.



    "Ranger"What are any of the privileges and rewards given to Medal of Honor recipients?
    the salute that the Medal of Honor recipient receives is not to him it is to the Medal of Honor. Otherwise you are still required to salute Officers if you are Enlisted or superiors if you are a Officer.

    you are also entitled to a Medal of Honor Flag that is of recent inception.
    The one additional priviledge of a Medal of Honor recipient is that he warrants a salute from superiors ! I'm sure there are more, keep watching !What are any of the privileges and rewards given to Medal of Honor recipients?
    Free meals at Denny's for life. :)
    Dependents get a whole heep of benefits. Especially educational benefits. Check out military.com, or about.com.
    Some enjoy the fact that the prezident has to salute them, not the other way around.
