    coins in recognition and celebration of the establishment of the 
    Medal of Honor in 1861, America's highest award for valor in 
    action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an 
    individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States, to 
    honor the American military men and women who have been recipients 
    of the Medal of Honor, and to promote awareness of what the Medal 
    of Honor represents and how ordinary Americans, through courage, 
    sacrifice, selfless service and patriotism, can challenge fate and 
    change the course of history; to the Committee on Financial
