The U.S. military has fought in overseas wars since 1801 (The First Barbary War). Foreign leaders have at times wanted to recognize U.S. Soldiers. A few of these military hero have been recognized by being knighted as an official thanks. "For American citizens the honor comes without the title of “sir” or any of the official perks, but it’s still way better than a challenge coin." What a wonderful honor to have bestowed upon them.
