First Living MOH recipient in GWOT?

| March 13, 2009

Brendan McGarry reports in the Military Times that the Marine Corps may be ready to award the first Medal of Honor to a living recipient during the Global War on Terror;

“We have a case that I sent an investigating officer out to take a look at on the West Coast that, if proven, I think will prompt me to recommend the Medal of Honor for a living Marine,” Gen. James T. Conway said.

If the Corps were to make a formal nomination, the case would go to the secretary of the Navy for approval, followed by the secretary of Defense and then the president.

Conway did not identify the Marine or the country in which the Marine served.

To date, five service members — two soldiers, two sailors and one Marine — have received the military’s top valor award for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, all posthumously.
