Sgt. Rafael Peraltas Mom asked Congress to award her Hero Son a Medal of Honor. Witnesses say this young Sgt. covered a grenade with his body to save comrades in Iraq. A Marine General told the Sgt. Mom that her son, Sgt. Rafael Peralta, would be awarded the Navy Cross rather than the Medal of Honor because the nomination was tainted by reports he was accidentally shot by a fellow Marine shortly before an insurgent lobbed the grenade. This Woman plans to appeal to Congress to award her son the nation's highest military honor after learning it was denied by Defense Secretary Robert Gates because of questions about his final act. These soilders give their all to us over there fighting so we can have the freedom we enjoy today. This young man deserves this Medal of Honor because no matter how you look at it he is a hero I mean they all are. Please sign this if you agree.
