You know.... yeah I see your point. Besides I've been known to miss. At 18 inches I could apply some of the stories that my Cheyenne Dog Soldier grandfather used to tell me about.

I always wondered about that leather strap and sharp stick story....

It would be just as satisfying to paint the peace sign on their faces.

I was good at the Close Quarters Combat Course.

Plus years of Karate helps. :o)

US Vets stick together, all MOH wearers are humble heroes.

Look up Capt. Matt Urban sometime. He won 1 more medal than Audie Murphy. 7 Purple Hearts, DSC, SS, and MOH.

He died in 1994 and his obit read from complications from wounds suffered in 1944.
