Good on the man. I can't imagine what it must be like to have a great achievement in your life - a great act of heroism and pioneering spirit that placed you in great danger, with little reward other to say that you had done it - to be picked over and denied by men and women years later... but it can't be nice. It's like someone walking up to Robin Hood and saying "Come on, admit it; you bribed the Sherriff to let all those folks go!", or approaching Wyatt Earp and telling him straight that "You had a cavalry regiment as backup at the OK Corral, I have proof!". Anyone trying that is REALLY asking for a smack in the face.

Damn it, these days the world has way too few heroes as it is.
