    Yeah. And there just isn't enough attention spent on these men which I hope to soon change here.

    Gentleman, I had the honor and pleasure of being the military escort for Corp Desmond T Doss CMOH over Memorial Day weekend here in Orlando. I had the opportunity to have lunch with him over the weekend. His story will have you shaking your heads and wondering how he survived. I will try and get a pic or two posted this weekend. :D

    Steve, TRhat is a great experience indeed! Would love to see the pics and maybe a short run down of how he got his CMOH? :D
