Don't forget my hometown's hero Sgt. Dan Daly, Glen Cove, NY. Famous for asking his Marines in the heat of battle "Do you Son's of B*tches want to live forever?".
I realize that.
The official title is "Medal of Honor".
No congressional.
http://www.cmohs.org/medal.htm
Many people are also confused by the CMH website and it's Medal of Honor page, but CMH stands for the Center of Military History in Washington, DC.
The only reason I'm so nitpicky about this, is I knew a couple recipients, both of who quickly corrected me when I used 'congressional'.
All armed forces commissions are approved by Congress, but they aren't refferred to as 'congressional'.
One of the recipients, Franklin D. Miller, died about 2 years ago.
and GySgt Michael J. Clark r.i.p.

ooops sorry , I stand corrected , thank you very much
