I am not sure if President did not have ulterior motive for his action but good info, regardless. Should the Commander in Chief Support Medal Eligibility Research? Preserving family military history... SURVEY TOPIC: The current Commander-in-Chief and President of the United States has awarded more Medals of Honor in the time he has so far served in office than any President in our Nations history. President Obama achieved this noteworthy and commendable record simply because he personally tasked the Department of Defense and its agencies to provide him candidates for MOH presentation. Each of President Obamas MOH awardees are unquestionably deserving of their award. However, some of these MOH recipients may not have been recognized had it not been for President Obamas expressed order that MOH recipients be found, authorized and brought to him for presentation. At the same time, there are thousands upon thousands of living American veterans who for various reasons, some prejudicial, others due to neglect or oversight, and most through administrative error or laziness have fully qualified for medals ranging from low to high in the Order of Precedence that have never been authorized and the mechanism for correcting the problem has never been granted Presidential-level attention simply because publicity for awards less than the Medal of Honor have not received Presidential attention since the presidency of former WWI Artillery Captain Harry S. Truman.
