The UNSC Legion of Honor is an accolade awarded to United Nations Space Command personnel for selfless acts of heroism or daring in combat. The medal is usually awarded in a ceremony. It is one of the highest honors a UNSC serviceman can earn.
After his leap of tactical insight during the Callisto Incident of 2494, UNSC Central Command dithered over whether to award Preston Jeremiah Cole the Legion of Honor, or to have him court-martialed for a breach of protocol and abuse of Common Space Law. Ultimately they did neither, to avoid setting precedent.[1]
John-117 earned this award by diving into a bunker full of Covenant, single-handedly defeated them, and ultimately saving a platoon of Marines from a Shade prior to 2552.[2]
