The Galactic Medal of Honor was the most important, the most coveted award of all time. It was given only to a handful of the bravest and most self-sacrificing of those defending earth from the mysterious alien invaders that had appeared fifty years before. It was almost always given posthumously. The Bearer of this medal became the idol of all mankind, would never want for any necessity or luxury-would never want for anything. Everyone on Earth sought that medal... and one man was going to cheat to win it, and live to regret it!
