Approximately 35 Medal of Honor recipients will be in attendance along with guests and the boards of directors of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Foundation.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States. It is awarded to a person who, while a member of the Armed Services, distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.

The Foundation will present the "Courageous Spirit Award," to a US Army master sergeant representing all of the wounded warriors from Iraq and Afghanistan. The "Distinguished Citizenship Award" will be presented to Citi Smith Barney for its contributions to enhancing awareness of the Medal of Honor in a spirit of selflessness and gratitude. "The Circle of Honor Award" will be given to Frederick W. Smith, Chairman & CEO of FedEx, for service to country and contributions to American free enterprise.

Previous recipients of the "Circle of Honor Award" include General (USAF-Retired) Richard Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, The Honorable Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense, Mr. Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon, and Mr. Harry Gray, WWII veteran from the Battle of the Bulge and previous chairman & CEO of United Technologies Corporation.
