The Army admits the reason the award is being given four decades later is because Sabo's story "more or less fell through the cracks."

I find all of these battlefield valor citations/awards that are given out 30 or more years after the fact to be quite odd. I’m not sure of what the take-away is supposed to be.

Medals for valor have always been questionably distributed. Generally, what qualifies as valor early on in a conflict is considered commonplace by the end.
