What is the Medal of Honor ?
The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President in the name of Congress to a person who, while a member of the military, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
The Medal of Honor is one of two military awards issued by the United States Armed Forces to be worn around the neck (neck order). The Medal of Honor is the only neck order issued to members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The other neck order is Commander's Degree of the Legion of Merit . The Commanders Degree of the Legion of Merit is only authorized to be issued to foreign dignitaries usually equal to military chiefs of staff. American military personel can be awarded the Legionaire's Degree of the Legion of Merit which is a standard suspended medal.
The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit.
