Worthy of the Medal of Honor

As Far as I am concerned this is worthy of the Medal of Honor and I am sure those platoons in the 2-7 Battalion of the 24th Infantry Division would agree. 2 days prior to the offical start of the war or not. They were all under orders.

  • THere has been two MOH recipients so far in Iraq. Cpl Dunham, Marines, awarded MOH for sacrificing himself by jumping on a grenade.
    SFC Smith, Army, awarded MOH for killing an estimated 50 insurgents with the .50 Cal before being overrun and shot to death.

  • Nerves of steel, good piloting skillz, and an overwhelming desire to provide protection for the soldiers pinned down on the ground. He deserves a standing 'O' from the entire nation. Consideration for a medal will come along down the road.

  • Is the Bronze Star medal with the Valor insignia awarded to pilots? This sounds a lot more like what happened. The most recent MOH was awarded to Maj. Bruce Crandall who servered back in the Vietnam war. I don't think anyone has been even considered for this citation in Iraq.

    Michael Monsoor, A US Navy SEAL who dove onto a grenade that was thrown onto the rooftop his team occupied, is being considered for the medal.
