Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted January 10, 2015 Moderators Posted January 10, 2015 The citation about Rosa Parks has it wrong. She did not receive THE MEDAL OF HONOR in 1999, or at any other time. That medal is only give for combat military actions. What Rosa Parks did receive in 1999 was The Congressional Gold Medal. Se the following: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1999-06-16/news/9906160104_1_rosa-parks-montgomery-bus-congressional-gold-medal Those are two completely different awards. Quote Gregory
