Medal of Honor Day

That was actually yesterday but I'm just now getting around to it.
Did you see retired Col Robert Howard on the news? He helped Barry and some other old soldiers put a wreath on the tomb of the unknown. During a 13 month period in Viet Nam he was recommended for the Medal of Honor three times. The first two times it was reduced down to a lesser medal, but the third time he was given the Medal of Honor. He was shot numerous times but survived all of it. He's retired, now, and goes to Iraq to help train the soldiers there.
One of the amazing people walking on the face of the earth!
