Answer:
He feels less brave.
Step-by-step explanation:
The narrator of the story finds other soldiers in the hospital to be more heroic and deserving of the medals. He says his injury is a mere accident, that he got the medal simply because he was an American, and that he is nothing like the hawk presented on the medal. Although he wears the same medal for his deeds as the other wounded soldiers, he does not feel as deserving of them.
This means he does not feel as brave and grand as he sees other soldiers to be. In his words, he might seem like the brave hawk “to those who had never hunted”, but wounded soldiers know of the battle and true courage things, so he drifted apart from them.
