Inside the terrifying firefight that revealed what kind of soldier — and man — Wheaton's Rob Miller was.

Given the state of our current print media, I am grateful and proud that the Chicago Tribune had this excellent piece. However, I do wish that they AND OTHERS would learn that this award is named the "Medal of Honor", and not the "Congressional Medal of Honor" [picture caption in article].

I don't know how this got started but other than the Congress having authorized this award through legislation, they have nothing to do with it in it's specific and individual awarding. A minor point but just an irritation with lousy fact-checking.

Is it possible modify a posted photo?
Street thugs and pretenders should not share photons with men of honor! /s
Perhaps a black out with a viewer warning?¿

Nice to see such a tribute from the Tribune.
The spirt of “Colonel” McCormick is in the air.

If in Chicagoland a trip to Cantigny is worth the time.

Thanks for the suggestion and link. We lived in the area before Cantigny opened so I didn’t really know of it. It will be on my list of places to see. I remember the Chicago Tribune when it still remembered it’s conservative roots.
