L to R - 1982 photograph of cats in a window:
Orang [classic orangey girl]
Hara [he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer]
Nightshade [if he wasn't actually a Russian blue, could have been]
Wilderness [always lived up to her name - smart & loved English muffins & cantaloupe]

What is the name of the Medal? Is the "Medal of Honor" or the "Congressional Medal of Honor"? The name of the Medal is simply Medal of Honor? - the word "Congressional" is sometimes mistakenly used because the Medal was created by Congress; however, the Medal is purely a military award. 'The Congressional Medal of Honor Society was chartered by Congress, which is why the word Congressional precedes the Society's name.
Medal of Honor
NOT Congressional Medal of Honor

In case anyone wonders from whence the name "Bler" came 😉

Pt Barrow AK: The tundra is full of lichens, mosses, fungi, grasses, sedges & the neatest willows. Everything is very small! Buttercups are blooming in the snow. Most of the snow has melted — a few super drifts remain. --- June 22nd note home #UglyDogs
