The Medal of Honor. Don’t degrade the honor or this mans heroism by incorrectly calling it Congressional.

MSgt Robert Slagle I don't believe it degrades this mans heroism or the Medal. It has been more commonly referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor for many, many years. The society of recipients is called the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. I would not be offended.
