God Bless these veterans for receiving the highest military honors a grateful nation can give. This writer needs a bit of a grammar lesson I think. Shouldn't the title say “Vietnam veterans to receive Medal Of Honor''? Just askin'

Read the Wikipedia entry for Alonzo Cushing. The man literally fought to the death while holding his guts in with one hand!

If ever there was a definition of “above and beyond the call,” he was it.

It’s just regrettable that such a worthy recipient is to be honored by such an unworthy “commander.”
