Shimon Peres, who is the current president of Israel, awarded Barack Obama the President's Medal at a dinner held in Mr. Obama's honor during his March 2013 trip to Israel. The medal was given to honor President Obama for his commitment to Israel's security.
None of them do. The Medal of Honor is the highest award a military member can acheive and can only be given by the president. You will not find it anywhere on the internet, and if you do then it is fake because i promise you, no one or their family is going to give it up for any sum of money.
Medal of Freedom for Civilians
Rosa Parks received the Congressional Gold Medal in 1999. It is the highest award presented by the US Legislature but is not related to and should never be confused with the Medal of Honor which is awarded for military valor.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is bestowed to members of the military. George M. Cohan was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1936, which is a civilian award, and is not the same as the Medal of Honor. See link below for full list of recipients:
No, the US Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton presented the first Medals of Honor on March 25, 1863.
We planted a tree to honor the student who died over the summer.I've won many races, but winning a gold medal would be the honor of a lifetime.He was expelled after cheating on an exam and breaking the school's honor code.
no. you should have linked whatever you were worried about but scan it with your computers virus scanners
That was for flying solo across the Atlantic in 1932.
I have posted two links for you to find out the medal of honor recipients of the 82nd Airborne. One of the links is for the association and they can help you if these links do not adequately give you a solution.
I have read, but do not know for certain, that the president and all armed forces members do salute Medal of Honor recipients. However, there is no documented requirement for this gesture. We must distinguish between regulation and tradition here. There is no written military regulation that requires a senior officer to ever salute a junior officer or an enlisted man first, regardless of what award the junior holds. However it has been a long standing military tradition to render a salute first (or at least simultaneously) to a Medal of Honor recipient. When doing so, the senior officer is not technically saluting the man, but the award, in the same way that military personnel saluting a color guard are saluting the US flag and not the flag bearer. I hope this clarifies things.
You may be referring to Bob Dylan, the folk (and rock) singer to whom the president gave the Medal of Freedom in 2012.
