Medal of Honor Flag

Uploaded by tapsbugler on Aug 21, 2008
Medal of Honor Flag consists of a field of blue, with 13 stars arranged in the same formation that the stars appear on the Medal of Honor ribbon. It is fringed with gold. The flag was based on a concept by retired Army Special Forces 1SG. Bill Kendall of Jefferson, Iowa,who designed a flag to honor Medal of Honor recipient Captain Darrell Lindsey, a B-26 pilot killed in World War II who was also from Jefferson. Kendall's design of a light blue field emblazoned with thirteen white five-pointed stars was nearly identical to that of Sarah LeClerc's of the Institute of Heraldry. LeClerc's design, ultimately accepted as the official flag, does not include the words "Medal of Honor" and is fringed in gold. The color of the field and the 13 white stars, arranged in the form of a three bar chevron, consisting of two chevrons of 5 stars and one chevron of 3 stars, replicate the Medal of Honor ribbon. The flag has no set proportions

First there is no such thing as the congression medal of honor it is simply the Medal Of Honor this nation's highest decoration that can be presented to a member of the armed forces you do not win the Medal you are a Medal of Honor recipient and regardless of your rank all others in military uniform are required to render a salute to you most medal of honor recipients are awarded the medal posthumously

As a former active duty sailor of the U.S. Navy, even in civilian clothing if I see any CMH receipient bearing their medal, lapel pin, or license plate I will pop to attention and render a crisp salute. My grandfather is a CMH receipient of the Korean War but overall I have the utmost respect for all combat soldiers and sailors. I'll salute a CMH receipient before I'd even dare salute the President.
