He should get the Medal of Honor.


Diving on a grenade in WW2 or Korea got you one.

Oh I don't think there's any doubt he'll be nominated.

During one of these SOTU Addresses a fellow was introduced who jumped on *two* live grenades, and lived to tell about it!  Only got one medal of honor though :(  Mebbe they figured surviving was worth keeping a second MOH.
