The way I've heard it, Marines who earn a MOH, but aren't KIA, get a Navy Cross. :-P

Sorry, but that's just an urban myth. We marines have many fine - and living - MOH winners.
One comment of a more political bent - someone like this sure puts Kerry's whole sack of BS in really stark perspective...

In the recent years, the trend is that Medal of Honor winners will only get their medals posthumously. Like in Somalia, the two snipers were killed trying to protect the downed helicopter pilot.
