My words will never be able to express the magnitude of my appreciation to even be alive when you were. Mr. Howard, you are a KNIGHT among soldiers. The United States should kneel in your honor. I have done so tonight. RIP hero. God himself should have picked you up.
god bless bob howard and his family he is truley a hero in my eyes 50 yrs serving his country and all of his achevments may the lord keep him in his house forever amen sencerly wendell r fuson
I'm proud for my great uncle and all that of this is true he didn't know me when I was 10 years old that when he died in December 2009 he died of cancer and he is a hero among all heroes I wish I could have met him before he died
I attended his memorial service yesterday on FBNC.. It was good to be able to say good-bye. RIP, Sir, it was an honor to have served during your era. De Oppresso Liber,
His (Howard's) M.O.H. was the fourth for a Special Forces soldier based in Kontum. He deliberately delayed his trip home to Alabama by three days to escort the body of a fellow Green Beret home to MN.
@Rokket "Men like these should never have been used by their country to fight in a political war like Viet nam".99% of all wars are political.He came from when Kenndey said,"ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."."I fail to understand how VN was ever going to "invade".The domino theory has been verified by former Soviet leaders.We made a stand in Korea.And other places,some won,some lost,yes,at that time it was a danger,just ask my Viet neighbors
He probably didn't make it to general becu he got the moh when he was a staff sgt so I'm guessing he went green to gold to make the money he deserved..
That is FALSE that you can only recieve 1 Medal Of Honor. Like Jimmy7779 said, there have been 19 people who have recieved this award twice. He was probably nominated 3 times but only got it once, the other 2 nominations were probably downgraded to Distinguished Service Crosses, which makes sense because he earned 2 of them. Either way this guy is a badass due to the fact that this number of valor awards is very close to unheard of.

De Oppresso Liber,
Col. Howard...as one of the "protected" I would like to simply say: Thank you for your service, I am deeply in your debt.
His (Howard's) M.O.H. was the fourth for a Special Forces soldier based in Kontum. He deliberately delayed his trip home to Alabama by three days to escort the body of a fellow Green Beret home to MN.
No dislikes, as it should be. R.I.P Colonel Howard.
GOD BLESS, His Soul & His Family!
DEO VINDICE!

This man was a REAL AMERICAN HERO!
The best video on youtube. Thank you Sir. I wish your family well.
Thanks, Victor.
Real heros don't wear capes, they wear dog tags
There have been 19 indiviuals who are Double Recipients of the MOH
Shame he couldn't recieve another two of three MoH because of the regulations.
Rest In Peace, Sir.
