The*Medal of Honor*is the*United States of America's*highest*military honor, awarded for personal acts of*valor*above and beyond the call of duty. The medal is awarded by the*President of the United States*in the name of*Congress*to US military personnel only. There are three versions of the medal, one for the*Army, one for the*Navy, and one for the*Air Force. Personnel of the*Marine Corps*and*Coast Guard*receive the Navy version.The Medal of Honor is usually presented by the President at the*White House*in a formal ceremony intended to represent the gratitude of the American people, with posthumous presentations made to the primary next of kin.[4][5]*In 1990, Congress designated March 25 annually as "National Medal of Honor Day".[6]*Due to its prestige and status, the Medal of Honor is afforded special protection under U.S. law against any unauthorized adornment, sale, or manufacture, which includes any associated ribbon or badge
