In the real-life companion version of this poll suggestion, a dispensation has been made to ensure uniformity. This would apply equally in the fictitious world of movies and television for this poll suggestion as well. Awards equivalent to the Medal of Honor have been included to ensure a uniform standard of inclusion. Nearly identical achievements received equivalent awards during different eras as Medal of Honor awards for pioneering peacetime achievements. Therefore, other special congressional awards and those of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor have also been included in the answer options. In addition to Floyd Bennett, Richard E. Byrd, Jr., Adolphus W. Greely and Charles Lindbergh Medal of Honor awards. Col. Billy Mitchell and Chuck Yeager, both received medals for achievements on par with those four Medal of Honor recipients. They have been included due to their medal award by an act of Congress and stated medal's equivalent status and ambiguity of award. Likewise, Congressional Space Medal of Honors for Jim Lovell, Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepard, John Glenn and Virgil 'Gus' Grissom have been included.

Possible Future MoH Character AdditionWallace, an ex Navy SEAL who ranks among the deadliest,. is set to appear in Sin City 3 (tentatively titled Frank Miller's Sin City: Hell and Back. In Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Senator Brandt successfully petitioned that Rogers receive the Medal of Honor to reward his heroic rescue of 400 Allied soldiers from a HYDRA base in Austria, However, Rogers did not attend the award ceremony as he chose to stay in Europe and participate in the war effort against HYDRA with Colonel Phillips and the Strategic Scientific Reserve. Chris Evans Captain America: The First Avenger Fictitious MoH recipient: Steve Rogers / Captain Americaas played by Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) PShttps://volumearchives.wordpress.com/2017/06/24/awards-honours-of-captain-america/Interestingly, I was watching Captain America: The First Avenger on FX today and it seems Marvel has both edited the film to change the name of his award. This was done both in terms of audio and visuals, as seen above in the two news placards.
