The proper answer would be ... no one. The fact is there is no award called the Congressional Medal of Honor. The proper name of the award is the Medal Of Honor.The final reason why no one would have ever won both is because one does not 'win' a Medal of Honor. It is awarded, usually posthumously, for acts of military heroism above and beyond all other acts of bravery.
Was martin Luther king ever given the meadl of honor?
He received a number of awards, including the New York City Medal of Honor and the Congressional Gold Medal. The Medal of Honor (often erroneously called the Congressional Medal of Honor) that we award to soldiers who display incredible valor during battle (often at the cost of their own life) is absolutely NOT anything that was awarded to Dr. King, nor was he even eligible for it, having never served in the military, let alone combat. The unfortunate similarity of medal designations has caused much confusion in the past and probably isn't going to stop anytime soon, since most people know virtually nothing about military medals.
