The National Medal of Honor Museum of Military History educates present and future generations about the extraordinary sacrifices of those who went above and beyond the call of duty to preserve the cause of freedom.

[[Medal of Honor Museum mission statement, adopted 2003]

 Though it was not uncommon for Medals of Honor to continue to be pinned to a soldier's tunic during World War II, the practice of draping it around a recipient's neck became increasingly used. For this purpose the modern Medal of Honor was suspended from an 8-sided "pad" bearing 13 white stars, to which the blue silk neck ribbon was attached. NAVY MEDAL OF HONOR (1862) The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States of America. It was first awarded during the American Civil War and the latest action for which it has been awarded was Somalia. It has often been given posthumously. It was originally given only to enlisted men although Army officers first received them in 1891 and Naval officers in 1915. It is often erroneously called the "Congressional" Medal of Honor.
