[edit] Second-most decorated soldier?

Are we just counting decorations and not the grade of the decoration received? There were thousands of soldiers who won the Medal of Honor, and/or the Distinguished Service Cross or the Navy Cross which arguably may say more about being decorated than the actual number of decorations. Audie Murphy did win both the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross as I think a few others have during WWII.

• References and facts speak for themselves. It isn't about how many medals for valor that he was awarded, it is about the amount of decoration he was awarded.Tony the Marine 03:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Harvey Possinger has won a total of 26 medals for his service in WWII, one shy of Audie Murphy. That would make Mr. Possinger the second-most decorated soldier of the war. http://vetstribute.com/candleburning/index.htm

• Sgt. Harvey Possinger was a true American War heroe who deserves the Medal of Honor. However, he was awarded 26 medals throughout the span of his military career. Audie Murphy was awarded 27 for his actions in WWII alone. This is about the amount of decorations awarded for ones actions during WWII and not about the amount of decorations awarded during ones military career span, otherwise Chesty Puller would be way up there. I highly recommend that we all join the movements asking for the Medal of Honor for Harvey Possinger and Guy Gabaldon. Tony the Marine 18:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
