There is no such US medal awarded to soldiers killed in action.

However, any medal may be awarded to a US soldier after his death.

The WW1 German Blue Max was one medal that can NOT be awarded after death. Only one such medal was awarded posthumously. Lt. Wilhelm Paul Schreiber died while his award was being processed. Also, the Blue Max was awarded to Lt Rudolf Windisch while he was a Prisoner of War. When the war ended, they searched to find him and present his award but no record was ever found of him and the award went uncollected.
