My son is currently in the pipeline for Combat Control Airman. It will be his challenge to follow the lead of heroes such as this.
I wish him the best. I am sure he is up to it.

It took 34 years for the upgrade from the Air Force Cross to the MOH to take place. By that time, Bill’s mother had died but fortunately his father was still alive to attend the ceremony at Wright Pat. He passed away not long after.
Apparently the MOH was denied initially and the upgrade was held up all those years because of politics.
For years there has been talk about a movie being made and even tho’ a cast had been chosen, there’s no movement on it.

Boy! Do we ever need young men like your son. We see too few in our country today or they don’t get noticed. I know you’re proud of him and he has our THANKS!
