Memorial Day query

Why so few Medals of Honor? ..... Despite its importance, --the Medal of Honor has been awarded only 6 times for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

By contrast, 464 Medals of Honor were awarded during World War II, 133 during Korea, and 246 during the Vietnam War. Our military is just as courageous today as ever before. Something is very wrong here.

The stories of valor in Iraq/Afghanistan must be made public. (You only need to go to Borders bookstore and camp out in the history section to marvel at the books that are published practically every month on the courage of our boys in today's wars.)

There is something very wrong with our national leaders who are not recognizing the valor of our men with the Medal of Honor, --only 6?
