I met the Colonel a couple years back at Marine Corps Museum in San Diego with 2 other MOH recipient's that day. I got to tell him "Thank you. It was you & men like you that allowed me to be born & raised in this great country of ours". Great day for me that day to be around those men.
The Colonel's medals were stolen from a storage unit for safekeeping when the wildland fires were here in Southern California. The thief has been caught but the medals have not been found as of yet. What a despicable thing, this dishonors America and all Veterans. The thief's name is Nichoals Keys, 29 of Hemet, CA. Don't forget this name, he's a disgrace to our nation.
"He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace my Brothers, you have not been forgotten."
