More than 6.2 million people served with the American armed forces during the Korean War, but only 145 received the Medal of Honour. The road to receiving this medal is a long one. After being recommended, honorees are reviewed by a lengthy chain of command, starting with their superiors and ending with the Secretary of Defence and the President. More than two-thirds of the men who received the Medal of Honour for their actions during the Korean War were killed in action. Made in the USA.
