Medal Of Honor

posted 8 years ago by chrissso

Galbadon is a great American hero ... he is credited with over 1500 surrenders. Consider how many lives that saved!

Remarkably, Gabaldon was not given the Medal of Honor (the country's greatest military medal) for his distinguished service … yet Alvin (Sargent) York was for his service in WW1. York captured approximately 150 Germans. I wonder why?
