26. Depends on the context...One could say:

"Bob Kerry was awarded the Medal of Honor" or "Bob Kerry, a recipient of the Medal Of Honor".

Here is a link to the MOH site: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/moh1.htm

They say some things that show me as wrong as well...but I can accept that. The whole "Congressional" thing is disturbing to me. The Medal is awarded in the name of Congress....but that is a mere formality IMO.

I have met two recipients of the MOH btw, and both were as humble as could be. If you want some excellent reading of a citation for the MOH check out then SSG Roy Benevides' citation....it is truly remarkable. I met this man in TX at Ft Sam Houston before he passed away. He dedicated his life to teaching children about integrity and how to be a 'better person'....:)
