It's been a long time coming,40 years, but kudo's to these brave vets who served with distinction, and courageously for our country, and hat's off to the President for recognizing their brave and noble deeds. Especially to those who didn't come back to they're loved ones during that terrible war; R.I.P. Bravo!

They went in there to help out their brothers in arms who were in trouble.

That is exactly what they will do. Notice President GWB didn't give these men that award. I guess he and Dickliss Cheney were too ashamed of themselves to present this award, what with Cheney getting 5 deferments and Bush being awol in his champagne unit.
