MEDAL OF HONOR SPEECH OF THE DAY
**For those who are having trouble understanding, this speech was given, as the title suggests, in 1991. While it is true that Reagan was not president in 1991, that portion of the video is simply the citation and presentation of the MOH to MSG Benavidez which was played to introduce him to the stage prior to the speech.
Notice a few things that should help clarify:
During the citation, the setting is outside. During the speech, it is inside.
During the citation, MSG Benavidez is wearing his full Class A uniform including his beret. During the speech, he is downgraded to a Class B uniform (no jacket) and is not wearing his beret.
During the citation, President Regan is present. During the speech, he is not.
The reason for all of these massive and obvious differences is that the speech was not given in 1981 when Regan was president. It was, again and exactly as stated in the title, given a decade later. In 1991.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL thanks for the MEDAL OF HONOR SPEECH OF THE DAY. I listened to the entire speech & would encourage all to do the same.
A QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTS - "This is my grandfather. I am using my mom's YT account (her name is Yvette Benavidez Garcia) to watch this video. My mom was a Benavidez but then married my dad which is a Garcia. My last name may be Garcia but in the flesh I'm also a Benavidez. Thank you for sharing my grandpa's story. :) - Ryan Michael Garcia"
