That's complete BS. Colorado has 24 Medal of Honer reipients. New York has the most with 668 followed by Pennsylvania, California, and Texas.

http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/states/z_map_accred.jpgWhat is the state with the most Medal of Honor recipients?
I thought it was North Carolina, i could be wrong
EDIT: it looks like i am wrong , its probably California or New York
but i was thinking of living MOH peopleWhat is the state with the most Medal of Honor recipients?
http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/states/1鈥?/a>
According to this site it is New York with 663
Keep in mind the Medal was created in 1861 and the qualifications for the Medal were not as strict as they are now. Hence the large numbers from states that provided large number of troops to the Union
edit- lol beat me to it while I was double checking numbers
New York BY FAR! They have almost double the next largest numbered state! 663 recipients from NY.
EDIT: Colorado has only had 24 recipients...
