Well medals are one thing, and yes, some of them are given out like candy (lesser medals in the order of precedence), but definitely not so with the Medal of Honor. It's in a whole different league. And in fact, it's been given out far, far less frequently in the current wars, compared to wars in the past, like Vietnam, Korea, the World Wars, etc.
A Medal of Honor winner who survived his extremely risky actions is a rare thing indeed, and why it's getting so much media coverage. It's special thing.
