It’s not the Congressional Medal of Honor

It’s the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Young Hero Award.

Bit of a difference.

Uh, wtf is this?

There is no way in hell Congress would have awarded an 11 year old kid the nation's highest award for valor, even if Obama was stupid enough to support it.

Seems like the reporter either screwed this story up badly.

The kid is NOT receiving the CMOH. He received an award from the CMOH Society. HUUUUUGE difference.

Headline is a cluster fox trot.

The reporter apparently took the mother’s word at face value, demonstrating her own complete ignorance of things military.

Thanks, that seemed odd to me too.
Headline is very misleading.

But you can email the reporter....which I already did. It’s a nice story, but she’s done nobody a service by leading people to believe that out nation’s highest award for valor can be granted for a feel-good story.

NO. There is no difference or this journalist would have specified it!

The f-ing media cant even take a wholesome story like this and treat it with any kind of dignity. Obscuring titles and actions that totally misrepresent the TRUTH!

When I read the headline, I thought this might be a historical story about a drummer boy in the Civil War who kept on drumming though wounded, or something. Nope.

I saw a film clip of the presentation, no CMOH. A nice story (otherwise) and a great kid!
