The Medal of Honor is considered the ultimate sign of courage and
devotion above and beyond the call of duty. This reference book
lists all United States Marines and their comrades of the United
States Navy (corpsmen, doctors, and one chaplain who served Marines
in combat) who were awarded the Medal of Honor from 1861 to the
present. Such men as Sergeant Richard Binder, whose good command
led to the planting of a flag on rebel fortifications at Fort
Fisher in 1865, and Lance Corporal Kenneth L. Worley, who in 1968
sacrificed himself to save his comrades from a grenade in Vietnam
are honored. A preface traces the evolution of the medal, its
rewards, and its requirements. The list of 296 Marines and 21 Navy
medical personnel is in alphabetical order within periods. Each
entry includes biographical information, the actions that earned
the award, and other relevant details. Appendices list the numbers
of winners born in and accredited to each state or nation, a
chronology of awards, and a breakdown of statistics showing the
numbers of Marines killed earning the Medal of Honor in each war.
