On May 30, 1984, President Reagan officially recognized World War II veteran William J. Crawford during the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation. William J. Crawford’s Medal of Honor had been authorized in 1944 for brave action in taking out enemy positions outside Altavilla, Italy. Shortly after the engagement, he was taken as a prisoner of war, never having attended a formal ceremony for his medal. This ceremony, 40 years later, provided the formal presidential presentation of the medal to William J. Crawford.

On February 24, 1981, President Reagan presented the Medal of Honor to Army Master Sergeant, Roy Benavidez, to recognize his bravery and valorous actions during the Vietnam War.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military award dedicated to United States service members who have distinguished themselves through “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty.”
