24 Overlooked Veterans to Receive MoH

http://news.yahoo dot com/belated-medal-honor-24-soldiers-overlooked-due-race-004744231--abc-news-politics.html

Story states that these Soldiers from the wars in Vietnam, Korea and WWII were downgraded to lesser awards due to race (all are Hispanic or African American). Great news that they are finally and justly being recognized.

Wonder if this in any way signifies more MoH awardees from the GWOT? SFC Alwyn Cashe immediately comes to mind.
