If it were Canada, if the rules of it being a military decoration didn't apply, and I was PM, I'd have the Victoria Cross for each of them.

Likewise for the Medal of Honor.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the civilian equivalent of the Medal of Honor. I would assume that is what they will be awarded. No doubt they deserve it. I hope it can at least give their families a small comfort.
