Ollie North is spot on. And the MSM and Democrats are foaming at the mouth.
Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith, US Army
Corporal Jason Dunham, US Marine Corps
Lieutenant Michael Patrick Murphy, US Navy
These are true American heroes.
Thank you, SJ.
You’re fast, I was just working on that too.
I've been doing research on Medal of Honor recipients for a book I'm working on. Many of their exploits are astounding beyond belief. From the first recipient, Private Jacob Parrott of the 33rd Ohio Infantry for his actions during the Great Locomotive Chase, to the latest, Lieutenant Michael Murphy of the US Navy SEALS for his exploits in the mountains of Afghanistan, all of these men (and one woman) are worthy of honor and praise.
Your book endeavor sounds interesting and rewarding. If you have any kind of a list of people to notify when it’s completed I would appreciate you adding me to it and good luck with it.

Great piece. Another American hero: Oliver North.
Spot on. Once again, Ollie has hit the nail on the head.
If you’re ever in Indianapolis, be sure and visit the Congressional Medal of Honor Memorial which is close to the RCA Dome. It was dedicated on May 29,1999. I was in attendance at the Indy 500 when they had 96 of the living recipients at the race. It was an awesome sight, especially when the B2 flew over. At the time, there were 3436 recipients honored with a description of their actions which earned them the medal.
God bless these brave heroes including Oliver North!
Yep.
We also get to see surviving Medal of Honor recipients at the annual reunions.
Amazing bunch of men.

Aside from having Berry Gordy's illegitimate kid, what has Diana Ross done that makes hera "daring" entertainer?
I agree totally, pissant.
He certainly has, DieHard.
Thank you all for the info and links.
Each of the celebrities he mentioned have “people” and organizations whose sole job is to keep them in the public eye in order to sell a product. Heroes generally don’t hire publicists and generally don’t have a product to sell.
Stated another way, celebrities are almost always a commodity, heroes generally are not.
