“This reminds me of Eric Klinghaufer getting the “metal of honor “ for getting thrown off the Achille Lauro passenger ship in his wheel chair by a Palestinian.”

I think you meant Leon Klinghoffer.

And he was not awarded the Medal of Honor, but merely recommnended for the Congressional Gold Medal of Achievement, which is a civilian award, recommended because Klinhoffer refused to back down to the terrorists, even in the when they theatened him with death.

I don’t believe the award was ultimately granted.
