Once again folks, these HEROES are not “Winners” of the Congressional Medal of Honor, they are recipients. They EARNED the medals, they didn’t win them in some stupid lottery. Just thought I’d clear that up.
I am with you on that one...last night when BOR said “winner” I screamed at the TV he was an awardee or honoree, not a winner of some prize.
I know those calling them winners are not trying to demean them or deminish their service, it just sets me off when someone uses that term in the context of a heroic act.
