I've heard that if a Pvt has earned it, even a General must salute him, but that he's technically saluting the MOH, not the soldier.  Is that just B.S.?

No, it's not.....



The wearer of an MOH gets and returns salutes. It is a recognition of the significance of the award.

From what I learned from another poster here, it is a custom not an actual regulation.

This is my understanding as well.  And also from what I understand there is no "Congressional" in the medal title.  It's just "Medal of Honor".

In the Army, it's traditional to do so, but not required by Army Regulation 600–25 (Salutes, Honors, and Visits of Courtesy).
