Shouldn’t it be a liason NCO ...

Sure, in the military. But this is an AP article posted on MSNBC, so they call him a liason officer instead of a liason NCO. (With a wry smile) The point is rather moot since in a few weeks everyone from private to 5 star general will salute him first.

“The point is rather moot since in a few weeks everyone from private to 5 star general will salute him first. “

From me the clueless civilian, is that standard etiquette for a MOH winner still on active duty, or just your phrasing to describe the honor we should all show him. (Have goose bumps as I type this thinking about what he did.)

A few points on that: Enlisted {E-1 - E-9} do not salute other enlisted and there are no more living 5 Star Generals or Admirals.

Your point is well taken-he deserves all the respect he is bound to receive from all he meets.
