  You know what I love about this? The fact that the woman has a child. Being a strong woman is not going out there to try to do a man's job or be exactly like a man. The strength of women is in their power to bear and raise LIFE--we pass everything important on and preserve our values for coming generations, through raising children. It is the most important job in the nation. Yep.

  "Honor"

• easywriterguy said:

  whoa. the medal of honor.

• D. Sheley said:

  This is the version of the medal given to members of the U.S. Army. The Army, Navy and Air Force have different versions of the MoH.

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  Doug Sheley: Yes, this is indeed the U.S. Army Medal of Honor, so we can add that information to this record when we update. Thanks for the comment!

  The Medal of Honor is often INCORRECTLY identified as the "Congressional". Take note that it is presented by the Commander in Chief of US military forces and not by a senator or representative.
