The
Medal of Honor
is the highest military decoration presented by the
United States government
to a member of its
armed forces
. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an "enemy of the
United States
" or an "opposing foreign force". For actions during World War II, 472 United States military personnel received the Medal of Honor.
In honor of Veterans Day, arrangements have been made to exhibit Kirk Davis' father's WWII Congressional Medal of Honor and his historic collection of autographs of 20th C. presidents, celebrities and military notables in the lobby of the historic Redlands Hotel.
