Random information on the term “Posthumous award?”:
The Confederate Medal of Honor is a posthumous award created by the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) in 1977 to recognize Confederate veterans who “distinguished themselves conspicuously by gallantry, bravery, and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty” during the American Civil War.
During the American Civil War, the Confederate States Congress authorized President Jefferson Davis to “bestow medals, with proper devices, upon such officers of the armies of the Confederate States as shall be conspicuous for courage and good conduct on the field of battle, and also to confer a badge of distinction upon one private or non-commissioned officer of each company after every signal victory it shall have assisted to achieve.” Lacking adequate manufacturing capability, Adjutant and Inspector General Samuel Cooper belatedly established the “Roll of Honor” on October 3, 1863, at the capital city.
In 1968, the Sons of Confederate Veterans passed a resolution to issue a “medal of honor” and began minting them in 1977. According to past executive director Ben Sewell, “[t]he SCV created their own Confederate Medal of Honor simply because there were some incredible acts of valor that had received little or no recognition during and after the war”. As of 2014, at least 50 medals had been awarded.
