As a veteran and former officer, I agree that whatever medals he previously earned, he more than deserves. Having said that, however, I cannot condone the way he has conducted himself throughout this whole ordeal. In the military, there are ways of reporting perceived misconduct, even against those at the highest levels, and it is known as the chain of command. He totally eschewed that protocal for his own personal reasons (and please spare me the righteous "he did it for god and country"), and now he will likely pay a significant price. He was a disgruntled Lieutenant Colonel who really fancied himself as a budding diplomat and expert on the Ukraine and went outside his chain of command, blew in the ear of a likeminded person who, by the way, actually had some clout (aka the "whistleblower"), and attempted to trash the POTUS, among many others. What a hero! Unfortunately for him, his little coup-d' etat failed, but hopefully the book tour and rubber chicken circuit work out well for him. Or if not, maybe Bernie or Mayor Pete can give him a high ranking diplomatic position.
