Some refer to it as the "Red, White, and Blue book."
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society calls it, "The 'Bible' of the Congressional Medal of Honor." Now in its 5th Edition, it includes every Medal of Honor citation and is alphabetized for quick easy reference. It is also the most up to date reference book available.
New and corrected information on the nations Medal of Honor Recipients continues to come to light and the publishers are working diligently to incorporate it into their manuscript. The information will be included as addendums in the current edition as well as incorporated into the next printed edition. We are pleased to be working in partnership with them and several changes we have submitted are on the list for inclusion.
