The article didn't mention LeRoy Petry as he was just awarded the Medal of Honor a couple of weeks back for his action in Afganistan.

I am sure both are very deserving of the medal. SFC Petry lost his right arm but has an arm and hand that function about as well as a human arm and hand. The President even shook his right hand when he presented the award.

I am always glad to hear of such heroes receiving the highest award that can be given.
