1. Source: "Medal of Honor Recipients 1863-1978: In the name of
the Congress of the United States" plus addendums, published by the
U.S. Senate
2. Note that the name of the medal is "Medal of Honor." It incorrectly
is often referred to as the "Congressional" Medal of Honor. By
law, it simply is "Medal of Honor."
3. The Navy Medal of Honor is our nation's oldest continuously awarded decoration.
It was established for enlisted men in 1861 and, until 1942, could be awarded
for either combat and non-combat ("in the line of profession")
heroism. Officers became eligible in 1915.
