On CBS tonight a story of two heroes. !st a Marine awarded the Medal of Honor, posthumously for blocking a grenade from comrades. Then a U S helicopter pilot landing under fire to rescue a badly wounded British soldier. He just went to London and recieved the Distinguished Flying Medal from the Queen personally. Very rare. I'm sorry I don't have the name, check the papers tomorrow.
