    "Winner Of The Congressional Medal Of Honor." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene
    The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
    The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

    After Basilone received the Medal of Honor, he returned to the United States to a homecoming parade, on Sep. 19, 1943, at his home town. He then started on a U.S. tour to sell war bonds with a number of movie stars and celebrities. He too reached celebrity status and was actually asked to star in some films.
    Despite all of the fame, Basilone was itching to get back into the fight. His boys were in harm's way while he was living in luxury stateside. The Marines denied his first request to go to the front, saying that he had a very important mission selling war bonds. They offered him a commission, which Basilone declined, and an instructor's position, which he turned down as well.
    Finally, the Marines approved Basilone to go back to fighting in the Pacific. But, first he had to train at Camp Pendelton, Calif. It was there where he met his future wife, Lena Mae Riggi, also a Marine. They were married on July 10, 1944. (Veterans United)

      So many civilians trying to act like they know anything about the military. Stick to your CoD and Fortnite.
      Take it from a U.S Army Veteran who served back in the 2000s. When we are given a medal, we call it "winning" a medal. Y'know, like how you win literally any other medal in any other way. When an athlete is given a trophy for first place, you don't tell them "you didn't win that, you were awarded it" so why try and act like it's any different in the military? Something you know nothing about. Stop trying to speak for other people, especially a group of people you are not a part of.

      When we get a medal in the Army, we call it "winning" a medal. When we talk about MOH recipients we say "they won the Medal of Honor" Do you tell athletes "you didn't win that medal for first place, you were awarded it"? No you don't.

    The argument over winning and awarding….It’s awarded, I say this because numerous MOH recipients have corrected those by saying just that. A lot of these guys who are awarded it wear it not for themselves but to honor those men that died in that operation that granted the right for the awardee of said medal.
    Sometimes wearing the MOH is a burden to those who are awarded it.

      In 1863 it was Congress who passed legislation making the Medal of Honor a permanent award. On every Army Medal of Honor you will find "The Congress To" followed by the recipients name inscribed on the back, because it is awarded by the US President on behalf of Congress which is where the "Congressional" part comes from. Maybe you should have done some research.
