The Medal of Honor was established by the Congress of the United States in 1861 as a means of recognizing members of the armed services who displayed "gallantry in actions, and other soldier-like qualities." It was the only such medal at the time and with broad interpretation of the criteria, awards were approved for a variety of endeavours. By the year 1916, a total of 2,625 awards had been approved.
