President Barack Obama is moving to right old wrongs by belatedly awarding the Medal of Honor to 24 Army veterans who served during World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
Just three of those being honored during Tuesday's ceremony at the White House are still alive, all of them combat veterans of Vietnam.

Oh.......
and BTW..........
He’s decapitating/gutting the military as well.
> I think the high standard to obtain this medal is being lowered.
I agree. Also, they’d like to lower the standards needed to be SEALS, Rangers, Green Berets, etc.
More social engineering needed to get the boys killed.
He needed a positive Photo OPP and our Military is the best choice.
ATTENTION ALL MILITARY ON TRICARE ESPECIALLY TRICARE LIFE AS OF 4/14/14 YOU WILL BE FORCED TO GET YOUR MEDS FROM A BASE OR EXPRESS SCRIPTS. YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR PHARMACY!
START BOMBARDING YOU CONGRESS CRITTER FOR WAIVERS OF HARDSHIP!
I HAVE HAD MY PHARMACY WHERE I AM TREATED AS A FAMILY MEMBER FOR 30 YRS, AND THEIR PRICES ARE BETTER THAN WAL-MARTS. IT WILL JUST HELP PUT FAMILY OWNED PHARMACIES OUT OF BUSINESS, MORE PEOPLE OUT OF WORK!
Neither one is a good deal for seniors. It takes 1.5 hrs if you are in a wheel chair there is no room for you to get in, to get your scripts filled at the Naval base, they carry very few name brands, and many seniors are on them, generics are questionable origin or manufacture. NO waivers for drug sensitive people. Express Scripts is the cheapest generics, manufacture or country of origin is unkown, and they are tossed up on your porch for any thief to steal, they do not have to be signed for.
Tennesseans NOTE Lamar RINO voted for shafting you on this crap, while not willing to give up a dime of his or the other 500+ members of congress PLATINUM healthcare and their unmarried kids until age 26!
All I see is a nightmare. ES cannot be trusted to get the RIGHT manufacture, and some of mine have to be from that manufacture even if it is a generic. Different Manufacturer’s different fillers. Like with the NORCO, not only did it make me sick it did NOT WORK. My water pill is the same way. The green/yellow Mylan brand works, but the white capsule or green tablet do not work. I have to have name brand Synthroid, side effects of generics are horrible.
As a very drug sensitive person, I WANT A WAIVER! And should be able to get one. Or get samples to try first as I’ve reacted to 1 pill right in front of the nurse as she started to roll her drug cart out. And it never got put in my charts!
This is couched in such language that it is hard to under stand. This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.
These are the option we are going to be given in a “new” SCREW U Pilot program from Tricare.
1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.
2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5
3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.
If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.
If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.

Thanks markomalley.
Our best friend a Ret CPO died last year, 73, he is rolling over in his grave that 0 name is on his death recognition, even if it is auto penned. He loathed the Marxist.
We are approaching Memorial Day, it is all focused on WW 2 European Theater, none on the Pacific where we were first hit, might offend the Japanese I guess.
My Dad T5 frank Guy Arrigo fought under MacArthur for 6 yrs, 6 major battles, Put the flag back up on the ROCK for you younger generation that is Corregidor, under sniper fire with PFC Clyde Bates, both men earned Bronze stars. Old Glory only flew for 2 weeks on the Telegraph pole before the island was officially retaken, and a official flag raising was done. Fate of the Flag http://corregidor.org/heritage_battalion/flag/bates_arrigo_flag.html that is my dad on top.
Had cousins in Nam, BIL & Uncles in Korea, 1 BIL fought under Merrill in WW 2 for 6 yrs. The Pacific Theater was just as much a hell hole if not more so than the European Theater. Hubby was on the Midway when they pulled the Ambassador out of Nam, off the coast of Cuba during the Missile Crisis. He worked flight deck on most of his voyages, much of his later years he taught A/B school for electronics and computers.
Why have these men been forgotten?
People don’t remember the Pacific Theater like they do the European on. Might offended the Japs who are now our trading partners, and draw more attention to the fascist kim ill what’s his name.
NORCO is the replacement for Lore Tabs, less Tylenol, supposed to be the same except that. But comes from a different manufacture, thus different fillers.
I’ve already had a 1 long battle with Express Scripts to get my Name Brand Synthroid covered, I am allergice to the generic. NOT ALL GENERICS ARE THE SAME.
My drug reaction sheet is a full type written sheet long at 12 pica, fixing to add another one Linzess to the list. New on the market, supposed to treat IBS. sure if you like to spend your day in ab pain and on the toilet and dizzy and pukey all day. http://www.healthboards.com/boards/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs/976870-ibs-linzess.html#post5274868
BTW I do not have IBS, I have a POPPED Lumbar disc which is part of a compression fracture and they will NOT repair it. PHYSIO CAUSED! Iditot Gastro cannot understand that factoid, all he latches onto is constipation makes the pain worse. There was no pain in my colon or down my legs before the PHYSIO popped the disc! I heard it felt the sting which is a Annular tear. My 3rd according to the new MRI.OP is DRUG INDUCED, only long running med I have is Synthroid, 29 yrs.
To patriots, they'll never be forgotten .. we may never know most of their names, but their spirit and sacrifice lives in our hearts and resolve.
Imho, a big part of our problem is that many many many people still either don't believe, or don't want to believe,
that that halfrican communist muzz piece of filth squatting in OUR whitehouse really does view all of those you mentioned, and all of us, as the enemy.
There are no words adequate for my loathing of that vile traitorous creature, or the handlers and enablers who pull 'his' strings.
To think of all the blood & sweat & horror that were endured to protect our liberty by all those before us, and how so much of it has been squandered, makes my soul weep.
That we've become a place populated by enough people ignorant, or cowardly, or uncaring enough to have debased our Republic to the toilet of 'gibsmedat' democracy is a stain that may never be cleansed.

Precisely
<spit>
My rant too, with the amount of illegal INVADERS it has becme worse. They owe their alliance to Mexico, not the USA, we are just the new money bag.
When my grand parents immigrated from Italy they had a firm rule Only English, only American loyalty was allowed. My dad was first gen American Born. The rest of his bros & Sisters were born in Italy. But they all became flag waiving Americans down to their bones.
I am approaching 66 and there will be few left to remember the sacrifices of these great heroes. and they are all heroes in my book.
An EEOC for the MoH? When does the attack on white Christians and military cohesiveness by the media and elites stop? The goal of the Ds has always been racist preferences so as to divide us, with one group and largest always portrayed as privileged, when they are in fact the victim.
Where is the demographic breakdown of the participation rate of these groups in actual military combat vs the percent of MoH awarded to each? I don’t believe the bs that people were excluded from medals because of their religion, anymore than people are excluded from the Supreme Court, unless they happen to be wasp.
I suspect the idiot in chief’s motivation is to award more MOHs than any other president rather than recognize any achievement by the individuals.
