Kentucky Marine Awarded Medal of Honor [VIDEO]
September 15, 2011 I had a grandfather and a great-uncle who served in World War II. Friends of my dad's served in Korea. (Dad was unable to do so because of flat feet, but, boy he wanted to.) I had a couple of college professors who were Vietnam vets. And there were some from my high school graduating class who served in Desert Storm. Outside of my parents, I hold no one in higher regard than the men and women who serve our country in the Armed Forces.
