Just discovered this on You Tube.

For those of us being prudent and isolating ourselves as we should and even for those not doing their part ....... here's real genuine stories of people making REAL sacrifices; performing heroic deeds.

Makes our "problems" today seem quite small in comparison.

I'll have to check on it. I was watching a show today about a Army Dr that earned the award. The announcer said he 'won it'. That really upsets me, like it was some kind of contest. Anyone that has the award EARNED it.

I had never heard a gun referred to as a "hush puppy" until I watched a Vietnam-era SEAL talk about his MoH.

That's my favorite channel on Youtube. I just wish it would get updated with the most recent recipients. The actual book is worth having, IMO.

Another thing about it is the name; "Medal of Honor" not "Congressional Medal of Honor" It is issue by the President in the name of the Congress.
