Charles Lindbergh was awarded the Medal for his actions on 20- 21 May 1927, his flight from New York City to Paris France.  His award is classified as an Interim award as it took place in between wars.  
The true title of the Congressional Medal of Honor is actually the Medal of Honor.  Due to the fact that it is presented on behalf of the Congress, by the President, it is often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Danny Thomas is not a recipient of the Medal of Honor.  He may have received what is called a Congressional Gold Medal which is an entirely different award.  It is also possible that the inventor of the transistor received the Congressional Gold Medal.  I am not familiar enough with the award to know who its recipients are.

For a time the Navy had two Medals of Honor.  One was awarded for combat heroism, one for non-combat heroism.  In August of 1942, the Medal for non-combat heroism was discontinued.  

I hope this answers your question.
