It's nobody else's business.


A person is awarded the MOH.

They are not "given" it.

They are a "recipient" of the MOH.

A grateful nation, is still the owner.

IOW, they hold the MOH during their capacity to do so.

They are treated like royalty, as they should be, so their family is not intruded upon to return the award after their death.

The family is, and should be, able to keep and descend the MOH as they see fit.

But the MOH is still the property of the entity awarding it, a grateful nation.

Selling an award for incredible valor is, and should be discouraged, as it is, by law.
