Best Answer

Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor

Monsoor was with a SEAL team, working with Iraqi soldiers to provide sniper security in Ramadi, when a grenade bounced off his chest and landed near him. He dropped on the grenade. Two SEALs near him were injured, another, about a dozen feet away, wasn't.

  • "He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was down toward it," ... "He undoubtedly saved mine and the other SEALs' lives, and we owe him."

    (a lieutenant who got shrapnel wounds to both legs that day)

  • "Petty Officer Monsoor distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism on Sept. 29, 2006"

    (presidential press secretary Dana Perino)

  • "He was just a fun-loving guy," ... "Always got something funny to say, always got a little mischievous look on his face."

    (a petty officer 2nd class who went through SEAL training with Monsoor)

Not true, Monsoor was a Christian of Lebanese-Irish descent, NO MOH recipient thus far was a Muslim.

Who won a Medal of Honor for actions against an allied country?

The question presents a logical impossibility. The US has been a member of the 20th Century Allied Coalitions of WWI and WWII and is the country whose highest decoration is referred to as the Medal of Honor. Thus, an MoH could not be won for actions against an Allied country, as that would require a US soldier to betray a US ally, which is certainly not grounds for winning any medal, let alone an MoH.
