Thant's great news! After all these years so many Vietnam Vets should be Awarded many Medals for Valor that went unaccountable for. There were some great acts of valor and bravery that took place in Nam by so many but most were just over looked because after all, it was only Vietnam. It's about time that somebody gets their head out of their ass and give credit to those who went above and beyond the call of duty. SEMPER FI!
