You can buy one but must earn the other.

As a widow of a Vet, this is DISRESPECTFUL! How dare he.!

[pamelatanner]

I wish Pete was president. What a brilliant, articulate, likeable man. He seems to be able to handle anything thrown at him in a calm but very sharp way.

[praetorian]

He actually said he gave ‘many many medals of honor’. He gave 1.

Pete you are loved ❤ a intelligent eloquent clever man 💙💙💙💙

[Catnyp]

Why did she get the medal? Donations? What a sad joke!

[gjerten]

I will never understand why a single American even considers voting this guy into the presidency. Never.

[dakin]

Every time I hear.Pete speak my day gets a little bit better, my hope for.our nation goes up.

Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor are VERY special Americans. They are NOT donors to political parties. They fought bravely for us and deserve our unwavering respect. God bless the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. I salute you. I bow to you.

How any veteran can support this guy is beyond me.

[pash]

Lov Pete B. I wish he was running for president

[kikyochan]

I hope one day Pete will be our president

[Silica_Packer]

Pete's ability to push back is very articulate but straightforward at the same time.

[dougthomson]

Buttigieg is one class act - like the guy a lot!

[JohnnyRawks]

It's a twilight zone episode that literally *anyone* would vote for this guy.

[randmayfield]

As a Coastguard Vietnam veteran and ex-Republican of 40 years, it still boggles my mind how any active duty or veteran, or beyond that, any rationl caring human being, could even think of voting for that mess of a man. Really.

[vynidalopes]

He gave his good old friends Rush and Miriam these medals because they are big DONORS of his! Period.

[caseyfranzen]

We’ve got Secretary Pete! They have no one to compare. LFG!

[thom]

It’s a beautiful ear, and a lot of people, the best doctors in the world, say it's the best ear they've ever seen! They say, "Sir, we didn't think it could happen, but it did! A beautiful, perfect ear grew right back where the damaged one was." Nobody could believe it, but it did....

It is not usually given after death, and in fact many of the winners served long after receiving it.
