“Peralta instead will be posthumously awarded the nation’s second-highest award for valor in combat, the Navy Cross, the military announced Tuesday.”
I’m not sure what the basis was for this decision, but the bar for winning the Medal of Honor is rightly set very high. Winning the Navy Cross is a great honor.

Its NOT an honor! Its an insult to the Marine Corps! Who would believe - soldiers who saw him give up his life for them or a bunch of bureaucrats who second guess what he did? They are cowards not fit to lead this country!
