Medal Honor
Who was the first person in the navy to receive the medal of honor?
And addition to the second question, who was the first person in the navy to win the medal of honor twice?
Ohh and to top that off who was the last person in the navy to win the medal of honor?
I’d really appreciate it if someone could answer this .
