agree  Robert Carter: Sorry Luciana, you're absolutely right, I was confusing the two.

agree  abe(L)solano: Estoy 100% de acuerdo contigo, ya que México otorga la Legión de Honor, no la "Legión al Mérito". El enlace de Taña y el texto que preguntan es la redacción "americana/estadounidense". https://tinyurl.com/y2uvno9e

Reference: Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional - Legión de Honor

Reference information:
México otorga la Legión de Honor,
NO la Legión al Mérito. Es USA quien otorga la Legión al Mérito. Por eso en el texto que preguntan y la referencia de Taña calcaron el nombre.

En esta publicación del DOF por ejemplo, se da el permiso a un militar mexicano para que acepte la "Legión al Mérito" que le concede EE. UU.
http://www.dof.gob.mx/index.php?year=1982&month=6&day=21
Pero a un extranjero, el Gobierno de México le otorgaría la "Legión de Honor" mexicana - sí, está copiada de la "Legión de Honor" francesa, como tantas otras cosas en México.

agree  Robert Carter: Yes, I think you must be right, Abel(?), it's me who was confused :-)//Yes, I had understood that, but I had somehow understood that this was the US award, awarded to a Mexican. Clearly it's the other way around!

  -> Así es Robert!! Hay una confusión porque en USA le llaman "legión al mérito", pero SEDENA otorga la "Legión de Honor" !!
