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

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.

What is a beta for medal of honor ?

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.

Can you use the wii zapper on campaign mode for medal of honor 2...without being online?

do u need to be online with other people to use the zapper, or can u use it in regular campaign mode alone without being online?Can you use the wii zapper on campaign mode for medal of honor 2...without being online?
GameStop, Target and Best Buy sells both. Pretty much all stores that sell video games do.



No, you do not have to be online to use the Wii Zapper. You do have to change the control settings, though, in the settings menu to Wii Zapper.



Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is $49.99 and the Wii Zapper should be $19.99.

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.

Report Abuse

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.
Nobel Peace Prize.

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.
Bullschitte.

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.

Do you agree that the new Medal Of Honor sucks?

I believe it sucks. It tried do what Call of Duty has been doing for years.

- Environmental Graphics

- The Exciting Campaign

What game is better, Battlefield:Bad Company 2 or Medal of Honor?

I have all of the cods but i need a new game.What game is better, Battlefield:Bad Company 2 or Medal of Honor?
Battlefield bad company 2 is far better

battlefield is more tactical and teamwork is necessary but Medal of Honor or MOH tries to be a more faster pace shooter like call of duty but in the end wasn't satisfying for me and ended up returning it. I'm sure the majority the others will agree that battlefield bad company 2 is better so just go ahead. Buy that game!What game is better, Battlefield:Bad Company 2 or Medal of Honor?
BF:BC2 + Vietnam Expansion.



MoH is just crap.



Why BF:BC2 is better..

Because you can do more things and act more like a squad, blow stuff up i.e. Buildings.



MoH - Graphics are crap and not many people play.What game is better, Battlefield:Bad Company 2 or Medal of Honor?
Both games are very similiar BFBC2 is much better

What should I buy, Medal of Honor 1 or 2 for the PSP?

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?
I would get both but in your position I would go with MoH 2 because it sounds better than the 1st one and then get the other one laterWhat should I buy, Medal of Honor 1 or 2 for the PSP?
get the newer one

Should George Washington be awarded the medal of honor?

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. What do you think? Do he deserve it? Please sign it.



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.

You may not have made an EA account, if not go to their website http://www.ea.com/ , hate to break it to you but I got medal of Honor the day it came out, I am Afghan (no terrorist) and I was excited to play as the Taliban online, something new right? 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. I hate cod too but it has made me addicted. Also your problem may be that there are connection problems at that time so try again tommorow or later on.Why cant i play medal of honor online?
