Another one I received today.

The video site shown below is awesome.  You won't regret taking a few minutes out of your day to view it and perhaps even send it on.  It may  take a few moments to load so be patient -

You may have heard the song before but this video is new. In the beginning, he goes into a pawn shop to pawn a flag... The pawnbroker is in his sixties, and over his shoulder you see a photo of a young Vietnam era warrant officer with aviator wings and the MOH.
 
Yes, that's really a  Medal of honor winner--not an actor.

Your right Marshalette...well worth the time - both of them!  Recommended them to friends.

God Bless America

PS:  The picture of the young David Huddleston (I assume it is him) looks just like my dad's brother would have in his Navy uniform.  FMO

Thank you Marshal'ette, reminds me of my grandfather (Navy man, Boatswains Mate 1st Class) 42-46.

I have his Bluejackets Manual, and I had to grab it after watching a great 12 minute video.

He was called "Swede", Harold Otto Christenson. He died a couple of years ago.

 He would have done the same thing for that Army Hero. That generation is fading fast due to the ravages of time, but I wont forget and neither will my 13 year old son. May God Bless them All.

He was an amazing gentleman.
