Another US Medal of Honor awarded
Looks like the US has upgraded the Silver Star award for Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia to the Medal of Honor.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/army...ry?id=63605214 Its always interesting to hear when a MOH or VC is awarded to someone. Mick

Always good to someone from the infantry especially the Big Red One be awarded the highest gong.

G'day Mick, thanks for posting that. Is the Medal of Honor equivalent to the VC?

The article states that the Silver Star is the second highest U.S. award for gallantry when, unless I'm mistaken, it is the third highest. The second highest award is the Distinguished Service Cross (Army)/Navy Cross/Air Force Cross/Coast Guard Cross.
