I had the pleasure of meeting 3 MOH winners while I was serving in the military. Every one of them was quiet. None considered themselves a hero. Yet, all were.
RIP...it is well deserved.

Nah, he wasn't a hero...just ask him. The true heroes never see themselves that way.
He was actually fairly old for that duty. If I'm counting right he would have been 36 in 1965. He was a year younger than my dad.

With a hero like that, there is really nothing that the nation can do to amply recognize him.
He did not do it for any medals, he just did it.
