In fact, only two Medals of Honor have been awarded since Vietnam. Both were given to Delta Force operators — Master Sgt. Gary I. Gordon and Sgt. 1st Class Randall D. Shughart — after the pair were killed trying to save downed aviators in Somalia in 1993. Nearly half of all who have received the award have died earning it.

Hah. Some moronic newscaster the other night was talking about this and said that none have been given out since WW2, I have to wonder if he even knows what the MOH is. I get extremely upset at the ignorance of those who are supposed to be keeping us informed.
