Great story. So good that it was Pres. Reagan that finally did the award presentation.

Wonderful stories about the patriotism & bravery of the American generation that fought & died in WWII will probably get you declared a domestic terrorist by the communists who now rule us...

You’ll probably get space on the first freight train...

Sadly, there are many, many on the left who would not consider this story to be non-political.

What a great story. Getting the medal from Ronald Reagan was the so special.

Super cool.

We already had our adult beverages for the evening, but perhaps tomorrow we will do a shot of Jeremiah Weed liqueur as a “Toast to the Host” in honor of this fine man!

I heard this story before, but that story stated that he was treated harshly by cadets and belittled by them.

Only one living WW2 MOH recipient. That war is rapidly slipping from living memory and into the pages of history.

Fantastic story, and it’s great that President Reagan was able to present the medal to him.
