The President, in the name of Congress, has awarded more than 3,400 Medals of Honor to our nation's bravest Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen since the decoration's creation in 1861.

For years, the citations highlighting these acts of bravery and heroism resided in dusty archives and only sporadically were printed. In 1973, the U.S. Senate ordered the citations compiled and printed as Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. Senate, Medal of Honor Recipients: 1863-1973 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1973). This book was later updated and reprinted in 1979. The breakdown of these is a duplicate of that in the congressional compilation. Likewise, some minor misspelling and other errors are duplicated from the official government volume. These likely were the result of the original transcriptions. The following is an index of the full-text files by war.

Full-Text Citations Civil War (A-L) Civil War (M-Z) Indian War Campaigns Interim 1866-1870 1871 Korean Campaign Interim 1871-1898 War with Spain Philippine Insurrection China Relief Expedition (Boxer Rebellion) Interim 1901-1911 Action Against Outlaws--Philippines 1911 Mexican Campaign (Vera Cruz) Haiti 1915 Interim 1915-16 Dominican Campaign World War I Haiti Campaign 1919-1920 Second Nicaraguan Campaign Interim 1920-1940 World War II (A-F) World War II (G-L) World War II (M-S) World War II (T-Z) Korean War Vietnam (A-L) Vietnam (M-Z) Somalia Iraq Special Legislation

Definite bad taste, but I don't know if the likeness is close enough for legal action.

Wouldnt it be great if we protected our flag the same way?

Reminds me of people using the Flag, by wrapping it up into advertising and sales. Big no no. And against the Law in DC.

'§ 3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court. The words 'flag, standard, colors, or ensign', as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.'

A civil letter to the company's administration stating your observation of the usage and concern of likeness, and some choice quotes from the applicable USC, would be more than appropriate. Be sure to get signature confirmation for receipt of the letter. Tends to let the recipient know you're serious about the matter.

Nice post.
