Hi,
though I haven't met any MoH recipients personally, I have listened to their stories and interviews on the Pritzker Military Library podcast...Although the MoH is an award, all statements, coming from the library staff or the veterans themselves, were using the term recipient for the veterans.
So, I am with Stony on this one.
By the way, don't miss the chance to hear the stories of the guys. The Pritzker Library has an excellent collection of Podcasts and videos, featuring interviews with Bud Day, Leo Thorsness, Walter Ehlers.......

I agree with Stony on the fact that "recipient" is the right way to go.
I merely said that someone who comments on a "MOH winner" is not trying to be offensive in any way. Thats all. It is a common way of referring to a MOH recipient.
The citation on all of these medals still reads "THE PRESIDENT TAKES GREAT PLEASURE IN AWARDING XXX MEDAL TO XXX".

Yeah, I agree Stony, it would have been a bummer in that regard, no towns, entertainment, rough sleeping, dirty, stinking hot, insects leeches etc etc. Ok, here's some more...
How's the fit of the Mall jacket on the guy in the middle back row. A lot of Bedggoods worn there too. I wonder if many of these boots made it back to the States. I do have another pair with the name of an AAF Lt inside but research hasn't turned up anything.

Down here in south Texas that style of boot was referred to as Wellingtons years ago, then later and to this day are referred to as Ropers. Not sure where or how that got started. Evan today that style of wearing is still very much with us. A very familiar sight, especially with the cowboy types and oil field hands. I would bet that old boy is from Texas.
