What medals should our military heroes receive for their actions in France? Will we act as quickly as the French in acknowledging them?

It will probably be a few months, but it should be coming.

On 9/11, the Army awarded 23 Soldier's Medals for the attack on the Pentagon. The precedence has already been set. Nothing else is warranted. A little known fact is the Soldier's Medal or sister service equivalent can qualify the recipient for a monthly stipend close to what a Medal of Honor recipient qualifies for if the award was granted for exceptional bravery in a non-combat scenario.
