Product Description

(Her) Medal of Honor celebrates the honor, dedication and courage of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (Medal of Honor recipient). In November 1865, having left government serice for good, Walker was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Andrew Johnson, even though she was a civilian who had never been a commissioned office in military service.

That civilian status is the reason Walker's medal was rescinded in 1917, two years before her death -- along with 910 others. Walker refused to return the medal, though, and continued to wear it until her death two years later.

Sixty years after that, in 1977, President Jimmy Carter restored the honor in her name, thanks to efforts made by her family. To date, she is the only woman to have been awarded the medal of honor.
