My thoughts exactly.
It seems to me that any man who believes his life has been saved by someone else is going to want that person to be honored and of course the men involved in this incident would want him to receive The Medal of Honor.
Receiving it is about much more than that, though. If it weren’t, we’d have many more given and it wouldn’t mean what it does.
The five men Gates asked to review the facts surrounding the case(Including a Medal of Honor recipient) are all military and all came to the same conclusion.
I have to believe they gave it the consideration it deserved and came to the correct conclusion.
I can’t believe this woman would actually consider turning down the Navy Cross which is an incredible honor in itself.
