Hello,
Per the link below from Stars & Stripes, Kyle Carpenter, Corporal, United
States Marine Corps, retired (medically) will receive the Medal of Honor
later this year at the White House.
See:
http://www.stripes.com/news/report-afghanistan-veteran-william-kyle-carpe...
This will make him the second Carpenter in the history of the United
States of America to have received this award. The first Carpenter was
Louis Henry Carpenter for service during the Indian Wars. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_H._Carpenter
The Medal of Honor is similar to the British Victoria Cross in value and
sacrifice. It is the highest military award that can be given.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Cross
The only Carpenter to be awarded the Victoria Cross was during World War
I. See:
