Hello "Ty"
It depends on the degree of the valor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awards_and_decoration...
Basically, you are referring to such decorations as:
Medal of Honor
Distingushed Service Cross
Navy Cross
Air Force Cross
Silver Star
Defense Superior Service Medal
Legion of Merit
Distinguished Flying Cross
"Life Saving Medals"
Commendation Medals
Achievement Medals
It depends upon what the nominating person recommends that award to be given to a deserving person. Of coures, there are criteria for awards and the actions must meet that level of conditions.
Best wishes,
