Remarkably, Carpenter did survive, despite horrific wounds. Just as remarkable is how he sustained them — by throwing himself on the grenade in an attempt to save his friend and fellow Marine, Lance Cpl. Nick Eufrazio, from harm.
On Monday, the White House announced that it would award Carpenter, 24, with the Medal of Honor for his actions, making him just the second living Marine to receive the nation’s highest award for valor in combat since the Vietnam War. Fourteen other U.S. service members have received the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.

If anything deserves the Medal of Honor it is this!

There isn't any witnesses... He doesn't remember... They are saying that the marines that found him put it all together that that is what he must have done from the positions..... That's what I get from it anyway.
Give the man the metal either way. Like you said he survived a blast
