I made this one but i dont know if i need comment so here is one anyway haha but yes i am glad this man got the Medal
he deserved the medal so i am glad he recieved it. if you are willing to risk your life to save anothers, you should be rewarded with something. and im glad he has it now rather than when he had passed away, bc what good/ use would it be to him if he was dead and had a medal. only something for the family to remember him by, its basically nothing to him at that point.
