Actually, it seems that a priest/chaplain can receive the Medal of Honor. Here are a few of them:

Also look up the Four_Chaplains and the Chaplains Medal for Heroism

Hope this helps some.

While it's nice to know they're eligible, I had avoided the DSC and the Medal of Honor on the grounds the heroics don't qualify.

THanks, everyone - this is exactly what I needed.
