About Medal of Honor Day
United States
Ends: Mar 25, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Created by Congressional resolution in 1991, Medal of Honor Day honors the men and women of the US armed services whom have gone above and beyond in the call of duty. It is the highest military honor in the United States and is usually presented in public by the President on behalf of congress. To receive one is a great honor, and a rare occasion. The first Medal of Honor was awarded on March 25, 1863.
One of the few instances in history where a Medal of Honor recipient was not awarded his medal in a public ceremony is the case of Captain William McGonagle, who successfully navigated the USS Liberty through a sustained attack by unmarked and non-identifiable ships, subs and planes in the Eastern Mediterranean on June 8, 1967. The forces attacking the clearly marked US ship, shooting its life boats as crew members tried to escape and napalming the lightly armed intelligence ship. The attackers were later revealed to be Israeli. In the end, the USS Liberty, with a 40 foot torpedo hole at the water line, made it to Malta. Thirty-four men died in the attack and 171 were injured. To this day the survivors and their families are awaiting recognition and justice.
