It's incredibly rare for someone to receive this in person.  It's an amazing story.

Wow! I'm glad he's alive today. So sad for his friends who died.

Interesting fact: if he has kids, and if they want to attend any of the military academies like West Point, all they have to do is qualify for admissions and military service and they are in. Children of Medal of Honor recipients automatically get accepted.
