He did it right.  Bravo Zulu, Commander!

Sgt Rafael Peralta,.....he was submitted for the MoH, but was only awarded the Navy Cross,......but, he's got a ship named after him.

Two videos come to mind this weekend.  My brother, Vic, was on a B-26; so this was very interesting for me.  I'd guess most of these guys are long gone.

 

 

 

The other video is Juan Brown's which was listed last year.

SFC Alwyn Cashe

Took 16 years but the Army finally honored SFC Cashe posthumously with the MOH.  A true Dogfaced Soldier.  Can Do!

Trivial in regards to the theme of this thread but my kid is going to march in his first Memorial Day Parade on Monday.

Ruth's uncle, Walter Donelan, MIA, USS Pensicola.  The last para on p2 reminds of the last scenes in the movie, "Mister Roberts".

Maybe it’s just me and my “sloppy penmanship” but man, the folks of that era could write very neatly.
