I have heard of pilots in WW11 going back to fly after missing a leg. I think this is great.

I was chatting with my girl last night about SSG Giunta, USA -- who is up for the MOH, and I was explaining to her the importance of the recognition. At one point she said, what about the Marine that you met last week up in Boston, referring to Cpl Bradford, she wanted to know if he would get a MOH. I said no, he got a Purple Heart and I explained to her what and why, but I told her that was it. She seemed confused and paused so I told her, it's not the medal on Cpl Bradford's chest, but the size of his heart inside it.

Both SSG Giunta, and Cpl Bradford are cut from the same cloth, they both went above and beyond.
