I hope Fox News did not really say this, but given the extraordinary ignorance of things military by their production support people; they probably did. They are my favorite news program, but they drive me up the wall calling Lieutenant Generals "Lieutenant" and other such gaffs. Just not professional.

Technical Sergeant John Chapman has been awarded the Air Force Cross, not the Medal of Honor. The Air Force Cross is the second highest award for valor. This is not to denigrate his heroic acts, or his supreme sacrifice, just trying to get the story straight.

" just trying to get the story straight. "

Fox News DID report this as the Air Force Medal of Honor. If indeed it was the Air Force Cross, please cite your source, for clarification.

You are correct. He was NOT awarded the CMH.

Medal honors fallen soldier

Yes, that's what I saw/heard also. Earlier in the day, an Air Force spokesman was on, giving the history of the Air Force Cross, and TSgt Chapman's story. Very moving ceremony - only carried by FNC. Pity - how quickly we forget our true heroes. God bless him and his family.
