I've noticed that Medals of Honor are somewhat longer in coming than they've been in past. SFC Smith's medal took two years to approve; Lt. Murphy's, thirty months; Cpl Dunham's, thirty-two months. Petty officer Monsoor's wait (eighteen months) and Spc McGinni's (also eighteen months) have been the shortest of all, but they're still longer than those of many World War II and Vietnam recipients.

Has the vetting process become more complicated recently?

It's funny. When I served I was in three different life/death situations. All I can say is this... you never know what you're gonna do until the moment comes. There's just no time to think. What you fall back on, then, is training. Maybe that will help some of you in school, or bootcamp, or just trying to learn a new job.

Kid, is a honor to save your buddy or team from enemy's fire, but is teached in the infantry to ask the enemy to give his life... It's words from Gen. George C. Patton, cmdr III Army in WWII.

Good Luck!
