These are the words of the petition.
We, the Marines and sailors who served with him, and his family and friends, ask our Members of Congress to request, under 10 U.S.C. 1130, that the Secretary of the Navy review Corporal Michael W. Ouellette's Navy Cross for upgrade to the Medal of Honor, for his actions on 22 March 2009 in Now Zad, Afghanistan.
In plain words: a federal law lets a Member of Congress ask the service to look again at an award, even after the normal time limit has passed. That is what this petition asks for.
