There are currently 67 living recipients of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. [1] The Medal of Honor is bestowed upon a member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes themselves "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." [2]

Of the 67 living recipients, one earned his Medal of Honor in World War II, four in the Korean War, 47 in the Vietnam War, 13 in the War in Afghanistan, one in the War in Iraq and one in Operation Inherent Resolve.

The oldest recipient is Hershel Williams, aged 97, whereas the youngest is Kyle Carpenter, aged 31. Three medal holders are still on active duty in the U.S. military, soldiers William D. Swenson, Thomas Payne and Matthew O. Williams of the U.S. Army. Among the living recipients are former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey and three retired generals: Patrick Henry Brady and Robert F. Foley of the Army and James E. Livingston of the Marine Corps.

Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to these requirements, it has frequently been presented posthumously. [3]

World War II

During World War II, 464 United States military personnel received the Medal of Honor. Additionally, the only Medal of Honor ever presented to a member of the United States Coast Guard was received for actions during this war. [4]

Distinguished Service Cross (United States) United States Army service cross medal

The Army Distinguished Service Cross is equivalent to the Navy and Marine Corps' Navy Cross, the Air Force and Space Force's Air Force Cross, and the Coast Guard Cross. Prior to the creation of the Air Force Cross in 1960, airmen were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
