John Duffy is a legend if you know. I mean straight legend the way he called in fire during the battle of Charlie Hill. The Medal Of Honor was long over due.

Grumpy Grandpa here. You will get a thumbs up for this. And God bless them soldiers. And it's about damn time. 😊🇺🇸

My father and I took my Vietnam War veteran grandfather to Washington D.C. several years ago for the first time for him to see the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. He got drafted in 1967 and he got injured by shrapnel from a land mine (in addition to getting shot), so he got sent home and received a Purple Heart. However, 6 of his buddies didn't make it back home, so before the trip he made a list of all of their names and where they were located on the wall. As he found each on the wall, he got very emotional knowing that he managed to come home (though injured), get married, have 3 sons, and live another 50 years, but 6 of his friends didn't.

I was hoping that FJB would come up with his own story of how the fended off the Mexican's at the Alamo from crossing the border to the US.

I swear Biden look like he's going to croak any day now

[@tomparker8932]

Even though POTUS served, he lied about serving in Viet Nam yrs back....maybe this is his penance.

Biden never served a day in uniform. He is too coward to shed a drop of sweat for his country.

If they said that I would receive the MOH from FJB, I'd say: " Put it on hold until Trump takes office in 2024 so he can pin it on me. "
