WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS!

@MrRahatma The only thing mexico has "done" for North America is supply it with drugs, swine flu and feckless mexican immigrants. Furthermore, Peralta was not awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor because Peralta was shot through the head and fell on the grenade; it was not an intentional act on his part.

The Medal of Honor has been jaded. I am a former Jarhead, myself and due to some terrible nightmares I've looked into the problems we've had. Everyone who wears a uniform knows that the armed forces aren't given as much recognition as they should, what they don't know of it is the severeity. 3,450 Medal of Honor recipients since 1861 (21 twice) and only 10 in the past 40 years. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot over.

Sad he didn't get it for what he did. Did more than most people have now a days.

north america must sustain this medal of honor for a real hero like raphael peralta . north america must sustain the nomination to fernando peralta for the medal of honor .
yes he is a california resident but we are sure this medal is not given to him because he is also a mexican inmigrant, north america is a ungrateful nation and for so it is not recomended to give your life in defense of this nation because americanswill never recognize what latin people can do for them.

@wel999999999 The chain of command (US side) ignored all reports that he reached out and pulled the grenade to himself. The mortal wound was caused by a friendly. The Commanding General consulted neurologists who said the act was not likely a consious act. The kicker is, is that any award for heroism requires a concious act so the Navy Cross should not have been awarded using the same logic for not awarding the Medal of Honor. No living MOH recipient would have denied the award.

Sgt. Peralta embodied the fighting spirit of an immigrant in America, only he did it on the battle field defending the freedom of his new nation. He came to the US illegally, a day after receiving he's green card, he enlisted in the USMC. He became a citizen while in uniform and died wearing it, saving the lieves of his men. He truly deserves the Medal of Honor. As a Mexican-American serving my country... I am proud to be an American serving my country in the US NAVY. Honor-Courage-Commitment.

That's not it, Gauche. These are our brothers. We eat with them, train with them, party with them, bleed with them. They're a part of us and we're a part of them. As for picking up the ordinance and throwing it back. That would be ideal and if the grenade had a longer delay, it would have been possible to do just that. But they were fighting from an elevated position and the travel time ate up most of the delay. Peralta didn't hesitate and sacrificed himself so that his brothers would live.
