Outstanding sir!

Excellent point. When I was at Polk(95-98), there was rumor that there was a MOH recipient bagging groceries at the commissary. The rumor also went on to say he is there because he wanted to be there, not because he had to be there. I never did learn his name and I am not sure if if the rumor true or not.

Glad this hero is getting the recognition he deserves.

There was a MOH recipient at the Navy shipyard in Charleston a while back (early/mid-90s). Janitor if I recall.

Congrats, Sir. Respect.

Your story reminded of that of William J. Crawford:

Different story it seems, but a similar situation.

Thank you for your service Lt. Col. Kettles.
