The four Chaplains didn't get a MOH but there were those who wanted to award it.
A posthumous Special Medal for Heroism, never before given and never to be given again, was authorized by Congress and awarded by the President January 18, 1961. Congress wished to confer the Medal of Honor but was blocked by the stringent requirements which required heroism performed under fire. The special medal was intended to have the same weight and importance as the Medal of Honor.
I remember your 4 chaplains thread. Jeez, these guys rock.
Thanks for the clarification. This is why I lovingly call you Mr. Know it All. LOL!
