it is shameful that more women have not received the award I think there are more who deserve to be recognized.
Player #6482125
She was not allowed to become chief Army surgeon because she was a woman. Another woman who should have bee awarded the Medal of Honor is Virginia Hall for her exploits in WW II. Read about her.. her story is way beyond fiction.. but is not fiction.

I believe she's the only woman buried at West Point.

GI Joe, I agree. In many ways, men and woman can be and are equal, but undeniably, there are areas that men excel in and others that women are better suited. Then there are individuals that are just outstanding at what they do and gender has nothing to do with it. Credit needs to be given when it is due no matter what.

Player #35387966, WHY? Relatively few women have been in circumstances where they would have the opportunity to take actions which would meet the criteria for being awarded the Medal. In fact, most men in the military services don't have a chance of being awarded the Medal, either. By the way, the correct name is the Medal Of Honor, which is presented by the President in the name of congress.

Ashlee Babbit deserves the medal. She was the only one murdered on January 6th.

This gave me more hope on going into the world alone and a woman.

Harriet Tubman should have this award

Player woody2327, I was a tour guide at West Point. Many women are buried there, including the famed Molly Pitcher. Only two women civilians are buried there, though: Susan and Anna Warner, sisters who taught the cadets Sunday school on Constitution Island, across from West Point. Anna Warner is also the author of the well-known hymn “Jesus Loves Me”.

So we can add!

That’s because men are in charge. Look at the mess in our society!!
Player #35387966
There should be more than one woman to be awarded the Congreganal Medal of Honor.

As of Oct 2021-I thought another woman received this honor recently.

Jew for Yeshua, true, but without men... no conception. We need each other. And please don't say no. Yes we do. Even if you don't have sex to get pregnant, you still need a man to make that donation at the clinic. 😊

ElJavron619, Well, YOU rock for making that statement! Thank you!
