Note: 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." 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.
