I watched this yesterday with my Mom.

Carried live on OANN.

No doubt they were the only ones to carry it I bet.

Beautiful, moving ceremony.

PJDT showed class throughout.

Democrats and the left are scum.

There is no one more deserving of a multitude of accolades than Mr Rescorla. Just sorry that he lost his life in service to the many. RIP, Mr Rescorla. You were the greatest of heroes.

This unsung hero of Rhodesia, Vietnam and, in his final campaign, the 9/11 evacuation effort, finally gets the official recognition he deserves.
