Who was the famous old west legend awarded the Medal of Honor taken away in 1917?
I believe it was Buffalo Bill Cody, who was awarded the Medal of Honor as an Indian Scout for the US Army in the late 1800's. FYI, it wasn't a "personal" thing. Hundreds of people were removed as recipients of the medal in a review done in 1917. Because the MOH was the only medal the US awarded (til the very end of WWI), many awards were felt to have been awarded carelessly, and were ordered surrendered by the recipient.
