Point of history here (Richard can correct me if I'm wrong [not an age jab, I'm slightly older than Richard]) IIRC, the Medal of Honor was the only Valor award until about 1918 or so and did not have the same demands of valor that it has now.
No disrespect meant to Seaman Catherwood, though. Salute!
