This isn't the full list, it is the remaining three that WSJ had covered in this past year.
1 - USMC Lance Coporal William Kyle Carpenter of Company F, 2d Battalion, 9th Marines, earned his medal for serving in the line of fire in Helmand Province on November 21, 2010. He was a member of a platoon-sized coalition force, comprised of two reinforced Marine rifle squads partnered with an Afghan National Army squad.
2 - USA Staff Sergeant Ryan M Pitts Company C, 2d Battalion, 503d Infantry Regiment earned his Medal of Honor for serving in the line of fire on July 13, 2008. According to the official citation: “Early that morning, while Sergeant Pitts was providing perimeter security at Observation Post Topside, a well-organized Anti-Afghan Force consisting of over 200 members initiated a close proximity sustained and complex assault using accurate and intense rocket-propelled grenade, machine gun and small arms fire on Wanat Vehicle Patrol Base.
3 - USA Specialist Kyle J White was in the same company as Staff Sergeant Ryan Pitts. White earned his Medal of Honor defending his American and Afghan comrades in a separate battle in Nuristan Province on November 9, 2007, when they were attacked on the way back to their outpost.
