"Mr. President, sir, from your hands I can tell
you've never done an honest day's work in your life..."

Obama knows he disrespected these men by not going to their Inaugural Ball, as all Presidents since Eisenhower have. He is simply trying to recover from that huge mistake.
These men will have the grace to treat him with the dignity the office deserves, even though he disrespected them, and the Democrats for 8 years disrespected President Bush.
More on Mr. Bob Howard:
The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to:
FIRST LIEUTENANT
ROBERT L. HOWARD
UNITED STATES ARMY
for service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. 1st Lt. Howard (then Sfc .), distinguished himself while serving as platoon sergeant of an American-Vietnamese platoon which was on a mission to rescue a missing American soldier in enemy controlled territory in the Republic of Vietnam. The platoon had left its helicopter landing zone and was moving out on its mission when it was attacked by an estimated 2-company force. During the initial engagement, 1st Lt. Howard was wounded and his weapon destroyed by a grenade explosion. 1st Lt. Howard saw his platoon leader had been wounded seriously and was exposed to fire. Although unable to walk, and weaponless, 1st Lt. Howard unhesitatingly crawled through a hail of fire to retrieve his wounded leader. As 1st Lt. Howard was administering first aid and removing the officer's equipment, an enemy bullet struck 1 of the ammunition pouches on the lieutenant's belt, detonating several magazines of ammunition. 1st Lt. Howard momentarily sought cover and then realizing that he must rejoin the platoon, which had been disorganized by the enemy attack, he again began dragging the seriously wounded officer toward the platoon area. Through his outstanding example of indomitable courage and bravery, 1st Lt. Howard was able to rally the platoon into an organized defense force. With complete disregard for his safety, 1st Lt. Howard crawled from position to position, administering first aid to the wounded, giving encouragement to the defenders and directing their fire on the encircling enemy. For 3 1/2 hours 1st Lt. Howard's small force and supporting aircraft successfully repulsed enemy attacks and finally were in sufficient control to permit the landing of rescue helicopters. 1st Lt. Howard personally supervised the loading of his men and did not leave the bullet-swept landing zone until all were aboard safely. 1st Lt. Howard's gallantry in action, his complete devotion to the welfare of his men at the risk of his life were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

These men are being honored by the President of the United States of America...
Love him or hate him, he did the right thing.
To the MOH recipients...From a grateful nation, Thank You.
Memo to The One (piss be upon him):
You don’t deserve to stand next to those men.
You don’t deserve to call yourself their leader.
You are illegitimate, ineligible, and illegally holding that office.
We know it. And so do you.
And so do those men.
Sorry...I cannot do it for a memorial to these gentlemen.
Yoo hoo....yet another occasion where Zero needs guidance from his teleprompter on what do do and say.
I agree. He's not worthy of their company.
If I'm correct, he resides in the "high desert" not too awful far from here. I knew Mitchell Paige (MOH, Guadalcanal) and he jokingly referred to our area as "The Valley of Heroes" - at the time, there were four or five surviving MOH recipients in the vicinity.
Obama: "Hi there! You were great in 'Medal of Honor' and the sequel too."
HERO; HERO; zero; HERO; HERO
I just noticed that this pompous ass pres_ent is wearing a tie of the same color as the MOH ribbon. He thinks he is so special.
First one !!
I notice your ideas are the ones that resonate later on.
Thank you. I had not heard his story.
Politico reported today that he made an “unscheduled stop” as it was not on his agenda”
In other words, he crashed it for a photo op.
Or he got a reaming for trying to diss the military once again....more likely this was an after thought and figured the press would be there to pump up his already inflated head
