Our V/A is terrible, the only “lovely treatment” veterans get is a couple discounts and a pat on the back. The government doesn’t care about our military. A lot of our soldiers end up as homeless, addicted or both.

@@Coolguy992 They can apply for SNAP, housing, college, etc. I think only the people who are in to drugs suffer a lot.

Thank You.

Hahahahahha great nation hahahahaha

Not all veterans get this treatment. Sadly some end up Homeless and most don’t talk about it or get the welcome until years later.

Even the president of the United States is required to salute a middle of Honor recipient

You have to salute a Medal of Honor recipient even if they're a lower rank.

Technically, the Medal of Honor gets the salute, not the recipient, but the rank of a medal-wearing recipient only matters if they encounter another medal-wearing recipient.

From a beat up civilian, thank you for your service sir.

dabprod from a honored, proud American citizen...thank you for your service sir.

Your kind words and gratitude mean a lot. My uncle saw combat in Korea….his squad was wiped out except for him. He was not the same coming home. My other uncle was in the merchant marine…civilian ships that supply the Navy in combat. My dad had just finished Army basic training. Orders were cut for his unit to deploy for combat in two weeks. A week later, the Armistice was signed. I’m glad S Korea is doing so well. I pray that the North will be free soon and communism fall…everywhere. It is a curse upon humanity. Peace.🇺🇸🇰🇷

AMEN, ME TOO

No greater love has a man who would lay down his life for a friend.

"Greater love has no man than he that lays down his life for a friend."

@@leonardwolf1820 Now you got me crying again!

Jonathan Kysar the highest honor even

It would indeed be the highest honor to meet each & every one of these men! Since that is a bit unlikely, I will thank the ones I know who have served, or are serving, all the more fervently and often.

thank you

The US and South Korea will stand together forever in defense of the liberties which have made great both our nations.

David, I agree with everything you posted. My only wish would be for the NFL spoiled brats be made to watch this and maybe they will see how insignificant they really are. I have personally boycotted the NFL for 4 years and have vowed never to support them in any way, shape or form. Have a great Labor Day.

People are wrong a lot of times in this world but don’t let history repeat itself especially after Vietnam.

Mr. Block, There are those who may have been ignorant, were very wrong or deceived about your service in Vietnam. I was a child then, so didn't understand all the discord about the war. But I was raised by a proud Army veteran to love my country, honor those who served, to weep over those who lost their lives spilling blood for my freedom, and to cherish those who are blessed enough to come home. Thank you, sir, for answering the call to arms. I rejoice you came home, & hope you have lived a full life.

제복을 무시하는 나라 또한 미래는 없다

It’s more than going above the call of duty. It’s doing more than that.

@@jamespiattsr7758 not really, most awards in the military are awarded for going above and beyond the call of duty but the difference with the medal of honor is that most who are awarded it are awarded it posthumously or they died because of their brave actions. I watched a video on the differences between the medal of honor and being knighted by the queen of england and in that video was a story of a military Chaplin who personally carried at least 20 injured soldiers to medical helicopters during vietnam and was awarded the medal for it

Military Determination!

Ok

William Kyle Carpenter is a medically retired United States Marine who received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010. Carpenter is the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient.

Many MOH are awarded posthumously. These men are a VERY RARE BREED.🇺🇸🇬🇧

Not really. DSC, NC and AFC sometimes involve saving lives, and some MOH recipients received the medal for killing enemies like John Basilone
