The Medal of Honor is the
highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be
bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United
States. Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the
United States of America in the name of Congress, it is often called the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
The State of Florida recognizes
and honors those who are accredited, or associated by birth, to the
State of Florida, who through their conspicuous bravery and gallantry
during wartime, and at considerable risk to their own lives, were made
recipients of the Medal of Honor. In doing so, these members of our
Armed Forces brought great credit upon themselves, their military units,
and the State of Florida.
Who are Florida's Medal of Honor
recipients?
