President Barack Obama meets with recipients at the National Medal of Honor Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns on March 25, 2009

There are currently 79 living recipients of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is bestowed to any member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States."[1]

Of the 79 living recipients, 10 earned their Medals of Honor in World War II, 11 in the Korean War, 54 in the Vietnam War, and four in the War in Afghanistan. Five earned their medal while serving in the U.S. Air Force, 51 in the U.S. Army, 16 in the U.S. Marine Corps, and 7 in the U.S. Navy. The oldest recipient is Nicholas Oresko, aged 96, whereas the youngest is Dakota Meyer, aged 24. Only one medal holder is still on active duty in the U.S. military, War in Afghanistan soldier Leroy Petry. Among the recipients are former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey and three retired generals: Patrick Henry Brady and Robert F. Foley of the Army and James E. Livingston of the Marine Corps.
