I know I sound naïve when I say race shouldn't matter for his award. But this man should be awarded the Medal of Honor if other men, who did the exact same thing were awarded it. This is a retroactive action that needs to be take now.

I agree so many silver stars and distinguished service crosses need to be looked at and maybe upgraded.
It is sad to know that this African American Soldier didn't even receive a Purple Heart in World War 1 but he received medals from the French army. I suspect that he died from PTSD and alcoholism. Only in the last 20 years was It upgraded to the distinguished service cross and finally to the Medal of Honor by President Obama.

I'm sure there is some accuracy in this portrayal in the movie Pearl Harbor

Cuba Gooding did a great job in that movie. Even though he only had a short time on screen.
