From the September 27th Charleston (SC) News-Sun.
While on the subject of Medals of Honor.
About 55 recipients of the military's highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor are expected to attend this weekends meeting in Charleston, South Carolina. A total of 3,450 have been awarded, dating back to the Civil War, and of those, only 87 are living.
That number will grow to 88 when Army Staff Sergeant Salvatorz Giunta receives his.
Ceremonies for the winners began Wednesday.
The Medal of Honor Society and Medal of Honor Museum are both based aboard the World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in Charleston Harbor.
Definitely Heroes, All. --Cooter
