Just last night I was watching a show about the Medal of Honor and they told the story of President Truman, and what he would tell men he was presenting with this award,
I would rather have this award than be president of the United States.
That is how big an honor this is. When I woke this morning, the first news I heard was this,
WASHINGTON – President Bush said yesterday he will bestow the nation’s highest award for valor to a Marine from upstate New York who dove on a grenade to save his buddies in Iraq. The Medal of Honor will go posthumously to Cpl. Jason Dunham of Scio, N.Y., who would have been 25 years old yesterday – the 231st birthday of the Marine Corps.
As part of our weekly collaboration with Matthew Currier Burden of Blackfive to bring his series Someone You Should Know to the radio, we featured the amazing story of Jason Dunham back in May. To listen to what Jason did to receive our country’s highest honor, click here.
