Um......
It’s not the Congressional Medal of Honor
It’s the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Young Hero Award.
Bit of a difference.
Seriously wrong and confusing title.
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.
Obama has no Idea what the difference is and could care less ,also goes for the writer
Personally, I think he couldn't care any less.
Headline is a cluster fox trot.
This is not the CMOH.
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.
Unfortunately you can’t comment at the source page
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.
Yeah, quite a difference...
Persoanlly I think yuou underestimate our President.
The man is truly gifted in this regard.
The man is constantly breaking new ground in the matter of Carelessness.
Does Common Core teach Journalism, too?
I saw a film clip of the presentation, no CMOH. A nice story (otherwise) and a great kid!
