119By Sunday afternoon with just a remaining events (1) only 85 countries (NOCs) have earned at least a medal so more than half of the 204 will not earn a metal.
In Europe there a more countries than in North America, therefore they have more athletes competing and a better chance at winning.
The first US Navy Hospital Corpsman to receive the Medal of Honor was Robert H. Stanley. He received it for his part in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Other than that i am having trouble finding more information on what he did to receive the highest military merit in our nation.
IRISH. "The Irish have more than twice the number awarded any other ethnic group." and "257 Irish-born Americans have received the Congressional Medal of Honor which represents more than half of foreign-born MOH recipients.."
I find it difficult to find any reasons. Canada has historically received many more refugees than other countries.
Colin Powell received many medals and honors, including the Purple Heart and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. For more information, including a list of the medals, please see the Related Link below.
Yes. Nineteen men have received the Medal twice. Five of these men received both the Army and Navy Medal of Honor for the same action, fourteen earned the Medal in two different actions on two different occasions. All five instances of the award of both Medals for the same action occurred in WWI. The US 2nd Infantry Division in that war had one Brigade of Marines and one Brigade of soldiers, and this led to the duplication. No one has earned the Medal twice since WWI, but it is possible.
Depends on which medal it is and what condition the medal is in. Just be more descriptive.
because they have more money to by more expensive equipment and facilities
Two Answers. A soldier who received the Bronze Star Medal does not receive any monetary award or bonus pay for this medal. The Bronze Star Medal is worth some money. The value depends on the age and if it is engraved with a soldier's name. If a Medal is part of a group of medals earned by a soldier is worth more if the medals are kept together as a group.
