Robert Eugene Bush was a class mate of my mother's, at Willapa Valley high school, in Menlo, WA. He was awarded the Medal of Honor on Okinawa where he was a Navy Corpman. I had the honor of meeting him, and General Patric Brady dust off pilot, Vietnam. Both true hero's, and fine gentlemen!

Honor, respect and dignity shown, which we deserve to all who have been granted the Medal of Honor. Think about it, less than 2,000 of every American who ever lived have received the Medal. It is only gained at a horrific price. Every veteran who wears/has worn the blue ribbon around his neck paid that price and left a tip! God Bless Them All.

Everyone had their hand to their heart for the Star Spangle Banner except for one IDIOT who had his hands in his pockets. Older guy with a cap on, you would think he would have more respect. I would e willing to bet he was never in the service.
