[Dave Anderson NH]

He will now rest in peace among the immortals. He is only one of 6 to be awarded the Medal of Honor in the last 8 years.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

There are few who warrant this honor. There are few who understand true honor and selflessness. To place the well being of another above that of yourself......

He was truly one of the few.

I've had the honor of meeting two of these men...and I have to say they all say the same thing...I ain't no hero!

Rob - thanks for posting this! Glad to see him get the recognition he deserves!

Glenn - thanks for the link! I see many of my real life heroes are listed there! I have also had the honor of meeting one of the recipients (Bernard Fisher, Viet Nam) as I went to school with his son. I still remember when his son Brad took off from school and met his Dad in D.C. where he was presented the metal by President Johnson. We got to watch a snippet of the presentation on the newsreels that were run before the movies! Remember those?
