First Medal of Honor in over 11 years and only 3d since Viet Nam..... First since 8 July 2002, Humbert R. Versace.

I was referring to when the episode of heroism occurred. Although Captain Versace's family was presented the MOH in 2002, it was for events that occurred in 1965. Your link was interesting--a nice source. I didn't realize we were presenting so many of these so many years after the fact.

That's not what you wrote and I'm well aware of when Versaces' actions took place.
