I searched, but did not see this article posted. I thought it should be posted seeing as this is Veteran's Day. Thanks to all who served.

After Scroggs rescued him, it took him more than a year to recover from the physical wounds of his first reconnaissance mission. But Messer later returned to Vietnam to another tour of duty. Note to Jean-Francois Kerry: What was that you said about 3 purple hearts?

WOW! I live in the same town as Warren Messer. (Gaffney SC) The name is so familiar. Now Gaffney is not only famous for Andie McDowell, and the Peachoid. We have a true war HERO to boot!

Bill thank you for sharing this story with us.
17 Purple Hearts and he still serves his country.
How lucky we are to share America with him.

Messer, who received 17 Purple Hearts, is expected to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor by the end of the year. Real ones too.

Thanks, Maigrey.
I can't even imagine the pain and suffering this man endured, and he went back!
The Marine Corps builds men, and they built one helluva man with Warren Messer!
May God bless 'em all!
