16 years later, that’s an absolutely unreasonable delay. Wonder what the excuse for the bureaucracy is? The guy deserved to be awarded that medal Long ago. I wonder what family members have already passed away and will never see this? I wonder how many men he fought along side have lost their lives and never knew an action they were involved in resulted in a medal of honor?
Delaying this long is unreasonable. Witnesses can die, facts get harder to nail down etc. Shame on the command it took this long to do this.
I agree.
