Just watched it, Good man. I’m glad he lived thru that and hope he has a great life.
Amen to that.
Good on ya, Marine. When I heard Obama was presenting a Medal of Honor, I assumed he was presenting it to himself.
What a wonderful man. May he have a blessed life.

OOHRAH! Good on that Marine. Ever damned one of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines need at least a Citation for serving under this POS CinC...except the Field, and General grade Os who are sycophantic....they need brig time.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!
Saw this on the local eve news. Not to take away from his bravery, I just wished someone else could have done the pinning.
Thanks for all your pings today, I spent the day a Doctor’s offices.
You’re welcome! Hope your health is good and that your hand/wrist is all healed up!
I have read other Cochran stories via my friends’ posts on Facebook. But they read like garbage propaganda pieces, so I haven’t posted them here. The funniest stories are about how Cochran is good for education in Mississippi. That is a laugher. To go from last to, well, last is an accomplishment over the past 40 years.
Not to take away from Kyle Carpenter who is one amazing young man!
letting still while fagboy put the Medal around his neck was prolly almost as hard as earning it...
