Rep. Seth Moulton and Massachusetts Delegation Empowered to Nominate for U.S. Military Medal of Honor
U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, alongside U.S. Sens. Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, and U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, are part of the Massachusetts federal delegation with the authority to nominate individuals for the U.S. Military Medal of Honor. This power has been highlighted in the context of advocating for Sergeant Major Dors G. “Gene” Musgray, a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran from Lowell, Massachusetts, to receive this prestigious award. Musgray, who earned two Silver Stars and two Purple Hearts, was recently honored by the city of Lowell, but local officials are pushing for the highest military honor. The delegation's role is crucial in initiating the process for such a nomination, which could lead to Musgray becoming Lowell's first recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
