Theodore Roosevelt Medal of Honor Award Recipients

The Theodore Roosevelt Association’s Medal of Honor is one of the most prestigious awards given by any non-governmental organization in the United States. The Medal of Honor was created “to honor outstanding service in fields reflecting the work and interests of Theodore Roosevelt.” Our Awards Committee maintains extremely rigorous standards for the MOH and therefore bestows this award only occasionally with great care and insight.
