Always happy to see an article on heroes (there aren’t enough of them even in conservative media), but does the implied trend really hold up?

Seven Medals of Honor have been awarded for actions in the wars and conflicts since 1975. Of the recipients, three have been from cities (Long Beach, California; Lincoln, Nebraska; El Paso, Texas), three were from small towns of less than 10,000 people, and one was from a large town, of a little under 100,000.
