I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials
who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was
around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal
of Honor winner. It's good to see you."

Dr. Medicine Crow has never won the Medal of Honor.

He has been granted a Medal of Freedom. *Which the President himself
awarded Dr. Medicine Crow in August of this year.

Medal of Honor - Medal of Freedom - it's all good right?

Oh, my God!!! Obama made a mistake.........
Can you unhinged right wingers possibly stoop any lower in your quest
to **** on anything and everything Obama??

No one got '**** on', Loogy.

Tom pointed out a mistake. Do you not think there's a big difference
between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom? I'll bet the few
surviving Medal of Honor winners believe there is.

The Congressional Medal of Honor is usually awarded posthumously to men
in their late teens and early 20's. The Presidentail Medal of Freedom is
usually awarded to men and women who have lived a full life due in part
to the sacrifices of those who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The Medal of Honor is its correct name.

"The medal is frequently called the Congressional Medal of Honor,
stemming from its award by the Department of Defense "in the name of
Congress" though the official and correct title is Medal of
Honor.[6][7]"
