This medal is the highest Military Award given in the United States.  The Medal of Honor is awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty and is issued to Military personnel only.

This Medal is the Navy Medal of Honor and is one of the only 3 versions of the medal.

First created in 1861 during the Civil War in recognition of the men who distinguished themselves during battle for “conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity”.

Since its inception there has been 3469 medals awarded and over half of them were issued during the Civil War.  Normally presented to the recipient by the President in a formal ceremony, it can be awarded posthumously to the primary next of kin.
