The thread should be deleted and reposted to accurately reflect the story. The guy may have been a hero, but the Air Force Cross is most definitely NOT the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Sorry, if I posted the Fox News story was inaccurate. I'm still not sure whether it was or not until I can locate an official Air Force source for it. However, my purpose in posting the event was to honor the memory of a fallen American hero to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. It is important to "get it right" with regard to the award issued. And it is important to honor this brave American.

Please be aware that there is no such thing as a 'Congressional Medal of Honor'. The award is 'The Medal of Honor'. The Congressional thing is something that gets added on by a lot of folks, but its not part of the award name.
