I stand in awe of people like James Rowe, Duane Frederic and others who have been in this for the long haul.
Their honorable and viruous efforts, sustained over decades, are what has made this possible and to me are awe inspiring and legend ... not to mention the esteem and honor I hold for Rocky. God bless them each and every one and God rest Rocky's and James' souls.
Jeff,let's not forget the efforts of CSM Franklin Miller (ret) and LTC Robert Howard (ret),both Medal of Honor winners themselves who worked long and hard to see that Rocky gets his. Both spent money out of their own pockets,and visited with politicians in DC to help push this effort forward. Sadly,my good friend Miller is now dead himself,but last I heard Bob was still alive and kicking. I hope he feels well enough to make the ceremony. I'm confident he will be there is he is able to attend.
