“Winning” can come about through strife and effort. Which is why the traditional, correct phrase is “Medal of Honor winner.”

FReeper Chapita, who is no longer with us, and maintained the chronicles of Medal of Honor recipients on Free Republic, would disagree with you. As do I, and many others, including the official Congressional Medal of Honor website, and the US Army Medal of Honor website:

Congressional Medal of Honor Society

The United States Army: Medal of Honor
http://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/

Think as you like, but you've been corrected. :)

Perhaps you can start firing off some letters & emails to the CMOHS and the US Army explaining to them the error of their ways...
