He was joined by several living recipients of the medal, which was first awarded during the Civil War.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;without a word about why the Medal of Honor recipients had gathered there. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is clearly about making amends for missing the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball &#8211; the story that we broke here. That&#8217;s why Friedman made a point of posting it &#8211; probably on marching orders from the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>But go read Greyhawk&#8217;s entire post and you&#8217;ll see why I&#8217;m so convinced it&#8217;s a slobbery kiss to vets.
