I have never understood the people that dislike a video of the United States President awarding the Medal of Honor to an American hero.

[@bicylindrico]

was getting ready to post the same. Amazing

[@myjeanification]

the only reason I can see is the video isn't correct with it's title because it's not the congressional medal of honor it's simply the medal of honor.

Tell me, is it every video, or only the Trump, one's ? Sad when politics enters these events that honor brave people. We also know that MSM, like CNN, will try to pull the president apart.

[@jackcummings4121]

I looked at John Carney's eye's, and see a great sadness there. I have a feeling that he is thinking of all his comrades he lost, and could not be there to celebrate with him. It tells me of the great tragedy that is war. Some, probably all, who have seen action, will always pay another price...the memory of the battles they have seen, and the deep tragedy that surrounded them. Good soldiers are made...HEROES ARE BORN.

After watching Barack Obama’s medal of honor ceremonies, I watched this one. The seriousness and sincere gratitude coupled with the obvious understanding of what these brave men and women sacrifice was clearly shown in Obama’s handling of this ceremony. Trump on the other hand treats it like a spot at the comedy cellar. He even does crowd work. Pretty funny. Anyway, congratulations to this patriot receiving the Medal of Honor.

A War had divided America and forgot American Heros. Furthermore, the rewards for a hero soldier has been so long forgotten. A soldier had defined for his actions in the battle of Huế -1968. Apparently, John Canley is a true hero and he deserves recognition. However, still have many American soldiers heroes of the Vietnam War, need recognition and deserve to rewards. Congratulations and best wishes to John Canley. The rewards for a hero soldier has been so long forgotten. A soldier had defined for his actions in "The Battle of Huế " and saves lives of his friends. John Canley is a truly hero and his deserves recognition. However, still have many American soldiers heronic in the Vietnam War, need recognition and deserve to rewards. Conguaration and best wishes to Jonh Canley. Notice: "The Battle of Huế - also called the Siege of Huế - was one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War." Notes: After I was hearing the story of retired Sgt. Maj. John Canley a heroic of 'Vietnam Veterans' during the battlefield of Huế 1968. 'The battle Tet Offensive in 1968'. Moreover, at the ceremony the Medal Honor for Sgt. Maj. John Canley, the President Trump is sharing story of John Canley and his actions half of a century ago. Therefore, Sgt. Maj. John Canley story is emotions me, so I write a few lines of Vietnamese poetry, donated to Sgt. John Canley with a title: Anh (ai) nhớ Huế Xưa. "The Battle of Huế - also called the Siege of Huế - was one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War." www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2018/09/25/50-years-later-marine-gunny-to-be-awarded-the-medal-of-honor-for-hue-city-heroics/ Anh (ai) nhớ Huế Xưa Anh (ai) đến Huế đầu mùa xuân máu đổ (Tết 1968) Chiến đấu đêm ngày chiếm lại Thành Đô Tết Mậu Thân (Tet 1968) khăn tăng phủ đầy mồ Cộng sản bắt người chặt đầu chôn sống Cố Đô Huế trong điêu tàn ác mộng Đổ nát, đau thương, tăng tóc ngập trời.

For a moving MOH ceremony, watch President Regan read the citation for US Army Special Forces SFC Roy Benavidez. What SFC Benavidez went through during an improvised quick reaction rescue attempt in Vietnam, is a hair raising account of a man’s will to stay alive and “save” the wounded and dead American troops from a viscous enemy. He epitomizes what it takes to earn and wear the Green Beret. I learned about Roy during my time in the SF Officers Q Course in 1974 at Ft Bragg.

[@macree01]

You're delusional. Trump doesn't care about the military, he even bought out his way from the draft in the Vietnam era. Trump is a psychopathic businessman. He cares only about making himself richer and giving himself good PR. He doesn't know anything about the policies, ceremonies etc.. that he enacts and participates in as Commander in Chief, never has and never will. He cares only about cultivating an image which can make him more money. If you think Trump cares about anyone you need to look only at his business dealings as a civilian. Contractors, construction workers etc.. who still years later have not been paid for literally making his buildings out of thin air.

[@richardgreen1050]

The two officers from the Navy and two from the army. Their ropes are on correctly and the Navy when not wearing boards pins them to the uniforms. This is normal wear as far as I can remember. I had a rope for about a year of my time in the service and we had a dress and an everyday one to wear on our uniform, that was just a single rope and no extra flourishes. Now I'm not an expert and it was 40 years ago but it doesn't seem to have changed much since then.

It is the Medal Of Honor. NOT The Congressional Medal Of Honor. It is presented by the President in the name of the Congress. But Congress is not a part of the medals name. Nearly everyone has mistakenly stated the name, for so many years that people keep on saying congressional medal. There are no congressional medals awarded to the military. The Congress is a civilian entity not military, they award their own medals to civilians. The criteria for the MOH is in public law and can be reviewed for clarity.

[@richardgreen1050]

Why should he be ashamed or embarrassed. I don't ever feel that way when I meet someone who has received an honor, like even the air medal or the silver star or the Navy cross. The last guy who I worked with who was a recipient of the Navy cross downplayed his role in the battle yet he was awarded the medal. He was a marine and ended up as a chief master sgt. We worked togeather with other vets as personal protection and I found that we all have the same commonality that it was just doing what we do. Nothing different from yesterday or today. Good men are not that hard to find if you look in the right company. Vets still protect what we love.

[@richardgreen1050]

Maybe he is as inspired by this mans actions and it influences those who aspire to be like them. It's not so bad to take the same courage into yourself so as to strive to be the best you can be. I have a limp too and I'm inspired by my fellows to this day so much that no matter how much it hurts it's nothing compared to my pride to have been associated no matter how minimally with men of integrity and self sacrafice who put duty before self and it makes me want to be a better man and I always walk without a limp when we go away, maybe it's just me being prideful and not wanting to be thought of for a moment as weakened.
