Detailed explanation-1: -In honor of Presidents Day, we thought it would be worthwhile to honor the only president to have earned the Medal of Honor – President Theodore ‘’Teddy” Roosevelt.
Detailed explanation-2: -So it’s fitting to start with the very first recipient to ever receive the medal: Army Pvt. Jacob Parrott. Parrott was born on July 17, 1843, in Fairfield County, Ohio. He enlisted in the Army as part of Company K, 33rd Ohio Voluntary Infantry, during the Civil War.
