Re: Medal of Honor to be awarded
I dislike the term "awarded", though I know it is used all the time. CMH's are earned, always, and often with the earner giving his last full measure of devotion to God and Country.
Re: Medal of Honor to be awarded
"Date of issue" is the term used. That's often (usually) years removed from the date of the action where it was earned.

Although, I feel a lot of them are earned and not awarded...You only get one if someone submits a report about your actions.
