Opinion: The Missing Medals of Honor talks about the medal of honor, which is a high status military award given for actions that helped others in war. One example is Ty Carter, who is the only soldier who received the award from the Afghanistan War. So, people started to wonder why only 4 veterans from the Iraq Wars received the award, but they weren't there to take the award, becuase the soldier's good deeds cost them their life. But weren't there more people who put their lives at stake, just for the sake of other soldiers? Why didn't they get the medals? While these people may be known to the army, they will sadly, never be recognized to the public for their good actions. Because the recipients of the Medal of Honor are not chosen on an exact or scientific method, the many people who put their lives at sakes for others, and genuinely deserve the Medal of Honor can still be recognized 10 years after the war.
