Its not good enough! Not good enough from people like you who enable the cowards in this country not to respect our military. If I was the family, I would turn down the medal for the same reason the 1972 U.S Olympic basketball team turned down the silver medal. They earned the gold! And Sgt Peralta through his conduct, definitely earned the Medal Of Honor! When you give your life selflessly for your country, you are deserving of its highest honor, not its second highest. Simple and straight!

One: I do not respect Congress. I vote most of them out, though the chance to do so only comes every couple years. That is all I can do.

Two: The Marine Corps and the Navy didn't hesitate, didn't debate the issue, they acted.

You're right this is straight forward and the USMC and USN decided it so to the honor of Sgt Peralta and that's to their credit. His family ought not turn down the medal and you should get out to deny your representatives and senators reelection......

We're not at loggerheads here. So don't accuse me of enabling the entrenched pols.
