| This book offers an overview of how the United States formally recognizes service, achievement, and sacrifice through its system of national honors, including the Congressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Purple Heart. The chapters explore the historical development, legal foundations, and procedural pathways through which honors are proposed, debated, and enacted. Particular attention is given to the role of Congress in commemorative practices, including the use of medals and other forms of recognition to honor individuals, groups, and significant events. The book also examines patterns in award distribution, recurring policy questions, and the symbolic role these honors play in expressing national values. The book also provides practical insight into the documentation and research of military service records and awards. |
