[quote=Sauron The Dark Lord] I am aware of what the Medal of Honor is. [/quote] Then you may be aware that there have only been 19 men who have received two medals of honor in the entire history of the medal. http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/history/history_double.html AND Since the reviews and changes of 1917 the laws governing award of the Medal of Honor have ended all DOUBLE awards of the Medal of Honor. All other awards in the Pyramid of Honor can be awarded multiple times for different acts, each successive award noted by a DEVICE worn on the ribbon for the first award. A soldier may be nominated repeatedly for the Medal of Honor, indeed during the Vietnam War Special Forces hero Robert L. Howard was submitted for the Medal of Honor three different times before he was finally awarded the Medal. But the Medal of Honor may now be awarded ONLY ONCE.
