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.
I think this covers your question.

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?

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?
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.

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?

No.
the standards are so high now that if you're not straight up sacrificing your life, you're not getting a MoH
Not any that are on AD. There are 96 still living but they are from WWII, Korea, or Vietnam wars.
Not any who are alive.

Can someone tell me what are the criteria for awarding the congressional medal of Honor.?

Check out the citation for my friend, Colonel Roger Donlon, the 1st recipient of the Medal of Honour in Vietnam.

De Opresso Liber.Can someone tell me what are the criteria for awarding the congressional medal of Honor.?
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.
