Can we dispense with acronyms in headlines?
"Tribal" knowledge is cute and clever, but often not terribly useful.

What is Sgt. Peralta MOH status? Some time ago there were mentions of his MOH nomination.

I was in a hurry; already asked that the title be changed.
SGT Smith died two years ago today.

The President gave it to Sergeant Smith's little boy--pretty emotional.
It took almost two years for this MOH to get approved--so perhap Peralta's is still wending its way thru the bureaucracy.
To: All
David Smith will accept the honor on behalf of his father, Army Sgt. First Class Paul Ray Smith, who was killed protecting at least 100 American soldiers during a battle near Baghdad International Airport on April 4, 2003.
Sgt. Smith stayed at his gun and beat back an advancing Iraqi force until a bullet took his life.
The boy's mother said her son is "man of the house now." Birgit Smith told ABC's "Good Morning America" that she often hears from the men her husband saved, as well as their families, and that they are "so grateful for what Paul did that day."
Smith is credited with saving the lives of at least 100 Americans by beating back an advancing Iraqi force near the gates of Baghdad International Airport.

For once I'm glad to be cubicle bound. I'm tearing up just reading these posts; I'd need a whole box of tissues if I were in front of a television. Thanks for the reports. God bless Sgt. Smith, his wife, and the "young man of the house."

I know what you mean. Between Terri Shiavo the week before, the Pope and now this I'm glad I'm at work because I can't cry too much at work.
