The Living Medal of Honor Recipients

These are all that remain, TRUE HEROES every one of them...men of patriotism, courage, and dedication.  We list them here by their current state of residence so you can direct your initial interest towards your home state heroes.  If NO recipient is currently living in your state, "adopt" one...he won't mind.
