No, you do not have to die to win the Medal of Honor. There have been many winners who lived through the action for which they were cited, Audie Murphy, Jimmy Doolittle to name a couple.
If you mean General Douglas Mac Arthur, he did win a Medal of Honor for service in the Pacific in World War II. My father, who served in the Philippines said, "Remember when Mac Arthur said 'I shall return' when he left the Philippines? It was me he was supposed to come back for".
It won in 1968.

Sergeant William Carney was the first black soldier to be awarded the Medal of Honor. This was during the Civil War.
No. The Medal of Honor is a military medal for an extraordinary act of bravery in the armed forces. LL Cool J is a rapper who has never served in his life.
It is the highest award that can be given to a member of the US services for bravery in battle. Most of the service men who have been recipients of this medal have died in the course of their action. It is quite common for someone to say that a soldier "WON the Medal of Honor." This is incorrect, you don't "WIN" the Medal of Honor. It's not a contest. He was "Awarded the Medal of Honor" is the correct phrase. The name of the medal is: Medal of Honor. To call it Congressional Medal of Honor is not correct. It is awarded in the name of the Congress by the President of the United States.
