I’ve emailed her and am awaiting a response.
I witnessed the fighting at Fallujah and believe me the action there was just as intense as on the Pacific Islands during WW2. There are many unsung heros in Iraq and Afganistan as well as those at Pearl Harbor. Finn was a great sailor who is obviously earned the Medal of Honor. I think our generation has the stuff to fight and fight like hell.
Those who do have it in spades. Those who don’t are more concerned with Tweeting on their iPhone than sighting in their .308. My biggest concern is that while I’m not a trained warrior, I will fight like a cornered bear when the time comes, and if I’m surrounded by a bunch of limp-wristed Tweeters, I’ll be, essentially, alone.
Remember Pearl Harbor — Keep America Alert!
(Now deceased) America’s oldest living Medal of Honor recipient, living his 101st year is former enlisted Chief Petty Officer, Aviation Chief Ordnanceman (ACOM), later wartime commissioned Lieutenant John W. Finn, U. S. Navy (Ret.). He is also the last surviving Medal of Honor, “The Day of Infamy”, Japanese Attack on the Hawaiian Islands, Naval Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, 7 December 1941.
