RIP proud warrior. Now the NY Slimes wants to equate every gang banging, dope smuggling, illegal wetback who ever snuck into this country with him. If only we’d let them all in our troubles would be over.....

He was shot in the head by friendly fire. She should proudly accept the navy cross and spend a little time reading what other medal of honor winners did.

May God bless him for his service and her for the sacrifice.

...I have an off topic question:...this man was ‘green card status’ when he enlisted...so by joining the Marines, does he get full citizenship status?...is military service a fast track to citizenship?...just wondering.

A letter included with the pathologist’s report suggests that Peralta’s “scooping/grabbing” was more likely to have been a result of “involuntary muscle spasms” than of a conscious act of courage.

'Twas the hand of God.

Now is the time to read of Milton Olive.

A Navy Cross is no small thing.

I hope Rafael Peralta doesn’t have to wait 147 years to get HIS medal.
