People earn the Medal of Honor for such courage and self-sacrifice in the military.

Can you give me a few examples? I'm familiar with many MOH stories where they closed with and destroyed the enemy at great risk to themself. I don't know any where they were honored for jumping on the person next to them as a human shield. There may be some but I don't know any.
