Another example of the humilty of these great warriors. The obit states hardly anyone knew of his service much less being a MOH winner. I wonder what the libs would say if someone like him stood up and called Murtha a coward.

As a young SPC the end of my first tour in Vietnam I was at the out processing station waiting to catch a flight stateside. Unfortunately I was picked for shit burning detail. This is one of the most unpleasant details you can draw.

Needless to say I was highly ticked off at drawing this detail my last day in Vietnam. Here I was a war fighting grunt at the end of my combat tour and I got the shitty end of the stick - literally. The NCO supervising the detail just let me rant and carry on. I eventually noticed that he had two stars above his Combat Infantryman´s badge, which meant he was a three war veteran. We got to talking and he told me he had won the MOH at Kasserene Pass in North Africa. Needless to say I was a little ashamed of myself, after all if this old warrior with the nations highest award for bravery could put up with this crap detail then who was I to be complaining?

LiM: "Did you know that John Kerry was in VietNam?"

Wifey: "You don't say!"
