The thought that this soldier would be required to salute the bat-eared-b*stard if they were outside makes me hurl.
Sgt Romesha has class, cojones, and honor beyond measure.
Dorkface has no measure of anything except slime.

Good judgment. Now he will be spared the need to de-contaminate himself.

This man is such a hero. He is humbled by all of the attention. His pathos at the ceremony was evident. I like the cut of his jib.....may he live a long and blessed life

I bet he understands more than most of us.. you do not get time back with your loved ones or with your brothers in arms. Why would he waste that time with something as insignificant as being a photo prop for people who do not understand his wisdom... nor do they possess it. Happy anniversary and Wow!

“who was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama”
I think that should read “presented” the Medal of Honor.

Honor first.
There is no honor in the company of these tyrannical trash.

That is what honor is about

Scheduling conflict.. LOL
I told my wife last night the decision to get the award from Beezle or not receive the honor would be a tough one.
