I believe Jonathan Blunk should be awarded the Medal of Honor for his swift thinking and selfless act on the night of July 20, 2012.
He had taken an oath to defend this nation from all enemies both foreign and domestic, and he gave his life upholding this tradition while engaged by a domestic enemy... regardless if he was currently not active duty, he had served 3 tours in the middle east and had the intention of reenlisting.
I believe his citation should read something like this:
"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Boyfriend and father of two. On the night of July 20th, 2012, Blunk was conducting an R&R mission in the town of Aurora, Colorado, when small arms fire erupted approximately 5 meters to the front of his position. Blunk immediately and without regard for his own well being made the conscious decision to provide cover for his female companion by any means necessary. As the ambushing party advanced, Blunk quickly began to receive enemy fire. Presented with no alternatives and little time to act, Blunk covered his female companion with his own body in efforts to shield her from incoming fire. In an ultimate and selfless act of bravery in which he was mortally wounded, he saved the life of at least one fellow moviegoer. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty, Jonathan Blunk gallantly gave his life for the well being of another, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
