The citation for his Navy Cross, signed by the highest Navy brass, says that he did grab the grenade and pulled it under his body and saved the lives of his comrades. That act has ALWAYS qualified a serviceman for the Medal of Honor. There are several eyewitnesses to his heroism. Seems to be a victim of racism, but I find that hard to believe.Why is Rafael Peralta being denied the Medal of Honor by the Obama Administration?

Its Ok, I want the FBI to know I am a real American Citizen.Why is Rafael Peralta being denied the Medal of Honor by the Obama Administration?

Don't make it sound like the current administration is the only one at fault. The current wars have had an abysmally small number of top awards.Why is Rafael Peralta being denied the Medal of Honor by the Obama Administration?
