正确答案： E:the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award, in long-overdue

be awarded 直接加名词，排除 AB。

the nation’s highest military award 是 the Congressional Medal of Honor 的同位语结构，并非定语从句修饰；long over-due 是形容词，而非副词，因此直接修饰 recognition, 排除 C。

in recognition of 是固定搭配，而且 the nation’s highest military award 同位语结构用一对逗号分隔更好，排除 D。 

所以选 E。
