OK, trivia to your triva...in regards to the Medal of Honor, the question is not written right.
Nobody has ever "Won" any medal in the military.
All the medals are Earned or awarded...but you don't "win" it like in the olympics.
But, most people don't know that.
Good blog.
My dad retired Air Force, I was dumb and joined the Army.

Unknown said...

roller-dude...excellent point regarding the 'winning' Medal of Honor...it is earned!!!
A special thank you to you and your dad for serving our nation!!!
