Just skimming through some of the blogs I visit, and ran across this video of US Army Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez at his Medal of Honor ceremony, and the following speech he gave. President Reagan was reported to have said this before he read the citation... "If the story of his heroism were a movie script, you would not believe it."This is worth the 25 minutes you'll spend watching it.If there is one MOH recipient I ever wished to meet (and I remember when he finally got his) - this was the guy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_BenavidezRead this Wiki link too. He did so much more for veterans than many remember. :salute

Woa! It's a rare occasion when I'm speechless. This is one of them. It just angers me more when I hear about people who claim to have been awarded the MoH who never even laced up a combat boot. :us_flag
