Iowan James W. Grimes is the creator of the Medal of Honor, our highest award for valor in combat. In 1861, Grimes, a U.S. Senator, proposed a naval service award. It soon became available to all military members. Grimes was also Iowa's 3rd governor. #IowaHistory #MilitaryHistory https://t.co/zAt6niPT4A — PolitiTweet.org
