Boy Scouts who have been awarded the CMOH

[Billthescouter 10]

Hello, does anyone know of a list of Boy Scouts who have earned the Congressional Medal of Honor? Our town is hosting a CMOH parade this weekend and 20 recepients will be attending. We are wanting to honor those Scouts who also earned this medal. Thanks.

Did a google:

 

http://members.cox.net/scouting179/Eagle%20Famous.htm (look at Aquila J. Dyess for the name of six Eagles)

 

But of course it is after all the Internet so you will need to judge the source yourself.

There are seven Eagle Scouts who have been awarded the Medal of Honor:

 

* Aquilla J. Dyess (deceased); Lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps during World War II who was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life" during the Battle of Kwajalein

 

* Robert Edward Femoyer (deceased); Army Air Forces navigator during World War II who was awarded the Medal of Honor

 

* Eugene B. Fluckey (deceased); Navy submarine commander during World War II who was awarded the Medal of Honor

Can someone with access to the NESA book that came out last year check to see if LtGen. James Livingstone, USMC (Ret.) may be an additional Eagle with the CMOH? I know the book is not 100%, I met two NESA Lifetime members who did not get into it despite filling out the info at 2005 Jambo. When he was in New Orleans, he was super involved with the council.
