Do medal of honor recipients wear the medal of honor all the time

Lyons, Chairman of the Boston Congressional Medal of Honor Society Host Committee. 'These Medal of Honor Recipients have formed a strong bond with the city and people of Boston and to be able to honor them here for the fourth time in 20 years is unprecedented in the history of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society,''В said Thomas J. The Boston 2021 visit will be an unprecedented fourth visit by the Medal of Honor Society. Their 2015 convention marked the first time the Medal of Honor Recipients held their convention three times in the same city. The Medal of Honor Recipients returned to Boston in 2006 and were again welcomed warmly by the city. The Medal of Honor Society was the first organization to reschedule their Boston convention following 9/11. The Medal of Honor Recipients held their first Boston convention in October 2001 a month after postponing the event because of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The convention could be pushed to a later date or scaled back if gathering restrictions remain in place. Organizers are prepared to adapt their plans for the fall depending on the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic as the event nears. The Medal of Honor Convention is expected to be a modest gathering of 50 to 60 living Medal of Honor Recipients and their guests, for about 100 to 150 people total. Their selfless dedication and service are the foundation of the liberties and freedoms we enjoy today.'' 'Like the hundreds of thousands of Bostonians who have served our country, from the Revolutionary War to the present, these Medal of Honor Recipients are shining examples of courage, bravery and sacrifice. 'Our great city is honored to host our nation's most brave and valiant heroes and the recipients of our country's highest honor for an unprecedented fourth time,''В said Mayor Walsh. Many of the nation's 69 living Medal of Honor Recipients will be in Boston from September 7-11. Walsh announced today that the Society will hold its annual convention and Patriot Award Dinner in Boston for an unprecedented fourth time in September 2021.
