Thanks for letting us know SP5 Mark Kuzinski that US Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is recommending that two sailors be awarded the Medal of Honor as an upgrade from their current awards and the result of a nearly year-long review of military valor since the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"The records also showed more than 112 Silver Star citations issued for secret missions by Navy SEALs since 9/11. The Army also issued about 100 Silver Stars and one Distinguished Service crosses for covert operations.
Mabus also said he plans to upgrade a small, unspecified number of Silver Stars to the Navy Cross, a move he can make unilaterally. Medal of Honor recommendations must be approved by the Defense secretary and the White House."
I expect that the designated recipients will be navy SEALS and I hope they are both alive to receive the award.
Kudos to each and every recipient if the upgrade to the medals for valor. I hope and pray that each valorous medal upgrade will be presented to a living service member or veteran.
