[QUOTE=Mama Tiger]  
I finally had a chance to check with my husband about the MoH winner he knew. His name was [John Levitow](http://www.mishalov.com/Levitow.html). His story is pretty amazing.

Papa Tiger apparently also sees a number of MoH winners who come in to visit the wounded troops at the military hospital where he works. They’re still out there quietly showing what amazing people they are.

As of last year there were [107 living awardees.](http://www.cmohs.org/recipients/living_cites_full_list.htm)
