Rob,
Inspirational; thanks for sharing the story.
I do feel obligated to point out that the MoH recipients I have associated with would be quick to correct the title "Medal of Honor Winner". The humble gentlemen I feel honored to have known do not consider the MoH to be a prize to win, rather an honor to be awarded or received (depending on the applicable part of speech...). They generally prefer the term "Medal of Honor Recipient".
Respectfully,
JB
