is being posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by the president right now (his heartbroken young son is receiving it, looking so proud of his dad).

I’ll post the president’s remarks when I see them, but I’d watch the video for the full effect. Perhaps the most obnoxious antiwar slam is that somehow this commander in chief does not fully appreciate what he has had to commit the enlisted to. He does. And you can see it on his face and hear it in his voice and see it in his gentle smile to this hero’s children, now without a dad to hug and play tee-ball and change car oil with (the two examples that came up in the speech).

Thanks to this man and his family for their sacrifices…the ultimate sacrifice.

Here’s the official citation. Here’s an Army website dedicated to him.
