HONOR The Medal of Honor Convention came to Knoxville last week. The medal is awarded by the president of the United States and is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force that can be bestowed upon an individual serving the the Armed Services of the United States. More than 50 recipients attended the week-long celebration, which included a trip to Blackberry Farms and a Charlie Daniels concert at the Tennessee Theare.
