Medal of Honor recipients would see their pensions increase 6-fold under new proposal
Fox News
A new bipartisan, bicameral bill would boost pensions for Medal of Honor recipients six-fold.
Proponents of the bill say the pay would ease the financial burden for medal recipients who often traverse the country for speaking engagements on their own dime.
The legislation would affect the 60 living Medal of Honor recipients. Some 3,500 have been awarded the medal since its inception in 1863.
