Semper Fi! It would be great to have a living Medal Of Honor recipient to honor. It would be even better for that person to be a Marine. Just to spite the Army.
The Marines continue to be the best of the best while the army has the numbers to be almost as good by shear manpower. I pray the guy lives long enough to be honored.

CMC: Living MoH recipient may be comingBy Brendan McGarry - Staff writer
Posted : Thursday Mar 12, 2009 14:01:20 EDTThe Marine Corps commandant said Wednesday that an investigator is reviewing a valor case that, if approved, would yield the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor in the war on terrorism.
"We have a case that I sent an investigating officer out to take a look at on the West Coast that, if proven, I think will prompt me to recommend the Medal of Honor for a living Marine," Gen. James T. Conway said.
If the Corps were to make a formal nomination, the case would go to the secretary of the Navy for approval, followed by the secretary of Defense and then the president.
VIDEOConway did not identify the Marine or the country in which the Marine served.
