In addition I find it quite interesting that many on this thread choose to focus on the award and possible/probable error when my intention was to honor the hero. Sad.

Agreed. Bickering over the details only obscures what matters here: that a great American, who gave his life to save his brothers in arms, was honored today.

Personally, I think his actions were worthy of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Most CMOH recipients earned them doing exactly what TSgt. Chapman did: charging enemy positions and drawing fire away from his comrades.

Jesus said: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

The most sincere praise I can give this great American who we have lost is this: I would want him by my side in battle.
