Today is #MedalofHonorDay . While traveling to West Point to give a presentation in 2002, WWII Marine ace Joe Foss was delayed by airport security because he was carrying his MoH in his pocket. The screeners were unfamiliar with the star-shaped award and thought it was a weapon.
Today, we remember the courage, tenacity, and fighting spirit of the service members who have received our nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor.
298 #Marines have received the medal to date - many posthumously.
Semper Fidelis

I met 1LT Thacker in 2017 while attending another Medal of Honor ceremony. He was humble and unassuming. I later learned his heroism came at the cost of calling friendly fire on his own position to save his team. Go FA! Today he lives in NOVA and enjoys golf. #MedalOfHonorDay
