SSG Robert Burns I think it's plain and simple to say that this gentleman was a badass. It's just too bad that he couldn't receive all 3 medals that he was nominated for.

LTC Jason Mackay I was just wondering when the rule changes because I know of past recipients like Dan Daly who recieved the Medal of Honor twice.

Don't know. That is what I was looking for. The CMoH Society didn't have anything posted. Last double recipient was WW 1

Ditto, I don't think I've ever heard of the rule changing. That may be simply poor journalism because it "sounds good".

h. Subsequent Awards. A separate MOH is presented to an individual for each succeeding
act that justifies award.
