This soldier from Iowa is being issued the first Congressional Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. There are only 86 living recipients of this award. The interview was pretty powerful...a great reminder of what they do for Americans every day.
He now has reserved seats for every Presidental Inaguration...cool stuff, hua?
Re: Congressional Medal of Honor
I was starting to think we didn't have any patriotic peeps here...thanks Esther!
If you watch the video, it is pretty amazing!!! DH & I were both close to tears.

Oooh! I saw him on 60 Minutes last night! Such a wonderful man.
And I'm loving that he's from Iowa, nothing ever "good" happens to anyone from here. Yay!
