The 88th Infantry Division has three recipients of the Medal of Honor from it's history in WW II. They are listed here with links to additional information about the individuals and the actions sited in their awards.
Contrary to popular belief the official title of the highest U.S. military distinction is indeed “Medal of Honor,” not “Congressional Medal of Honor.” The confusion may be because the president presents the award “in the name of Congress.” There is also the “Congressional Medal of Honor Society,” which represents recipients of the Medal of Honor, and was formed through an act of congress.
The medal is highly prestigious, and, because of the need for accuracy, the recommendation process can take in excess of 18 months. There is intense scrutiny every step of the way. Some recipients are awarded many years after the action for which it was earned, such as with Sergeant Mendoza of the 88th.
