It is the Medal of Honor. It is not the Congressional Medal of Honor. The link below is to the Center for Military History. You can read all the certificates for the MOH. Click on the Iraq link for the most recent.



Edit: Andrew should not be allowed out in polite society. He is also completely wrong as the very site he references states. The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is a society created by Congress. What do you expect from them. Read the opening lines from that site: (link pasted below as well) The CMOHS clearly states that the medal is the Medal of Honor.



"Though the correct title for our Nation's highest military award is the MEDAL OF HONOR, the organization that represents the men who wear it is the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR SOCIETY, for it was established and chartered by the U.S. Congress. The intents and purposes of the organization are clearly spelled out it its charter and can be found in our History of the Society pages.



...it is also home to the official MEDAL OF HONOR MUSEUM. ....contains volumous files on Medal of Honor recipients, the Society:"



Young Andrew may apologize or simply fade into the woodwork, but he should at least realize he is both wrong and rude.
