Pet Peeve of the Day: "Winning the Medal of Honor"

Seriously.  You don't "win" a Medal of Honor, or a Purple Heart for that matter.

"Winning" a Medal of Honor makes it sound like some kind of Cereal Box prize.  Its not like there's a friggen prize lottery for every soldier deployed to a combat zone.

Medals are awarded, not won.  I'm sure most people don't really care a whole lot about the subject, but it is CERTAINLY a huge Pet Peeve of mine.
