He died in march of 2002. Why did it take so long to award him the medal of honor?

Why has one still never been awarded to John Ripley?

Why are they still awarding medals to servicemen from WWII? Politics, bureaucracy, racial bias, rank, you name it. We all bleed red, dammit! Honor where honor is due.
