Captain Matt Urban's Medal of Honor was belatedly awarded by President Jimmy Carter in 1980. Urban received numerous and multiple awards for heroism in World War II, and is frequently proclaimed the "most decorated hero" of World War II, by some who believe upon receipt of the Medal of Honor, Urban surpassed Audie Murphy. In fact, in a side-by-side analysis of the two men's awards, Murphy still has the record including the Distinguished Service Cross, about the only award Matt Urban did not receive.
