I believe Col. Ripley's Navy Cross should have been – and should be – upgraded to the Medal of Honor.

There are folks who have received the MoH for less.

It's my understanding that the MOH was withheld because there weren't enough Americans to testify to his heroic efforts. Does anyone know if that's the case? And, if so, could we petition to have it elevated some other way?
