An act of Congress established the medal, and President Abraham Lincoln signed the act into law in December 1861. The largest number of recipients with ties to Central New York served in the Civil War, but criteria then for receiving the medal were less stringent than they are now. Dennis Connors, executive director of the Onondaga Historical Association, said many Civil War flag bearers received the medal for keeping the colors in sight during battle or picking up the colors after the former flag bearer fell. From 1920 to 1940, the Medal of Honor was presented to a number of people not engaged in combat, such as Charles Lindbergh for his trans-Atlantic flight and Richard Byrd for flying over the North Pole.
