If you're a Vietnam person please forgive these men that brag about killing other men.

[mattsapero]

Their stories are incredible. Thank you, Gentlemen!

[jonjeremy]

It's about time. Those men deserve every bit of it

Thank you mr. Biden preserving honor of the Presidency.

“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”
– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789

“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Ladies and Gentleman, I respectfully ask that all negative opinions or insults of President Biden remain off this video. We're here to honor these four outstanding Americans for their amazing heroism courage, bravery, gallantry, and valor! To MAJ John Duffy, SSG Edward Kaneshiro, SPC 5 Dennis Fujii and SPC 5 Dwight Birdwell, sirs your country thanks you all for all you did to protect our nation, your fellow servicemen, and the service in which you served! Words are never enough to express our country's gratitude, so on behalf of my Uncle (who served in Vietnam) all my family thanks you, I salute all of you sirs! The Vietnam war may have ended nearly fifty years ago but the deeds of American military heroes shall live on in our memories forever, God bless you all!

Is President Biden going to right a wrong by giving the MOH to one of the most, if not the most, decorated soldier of the Vietnam war, Ssgt Jorge Otero, from Puerto Rico. If he looks up his service record, I am sure he would give him the highest honor due him.

Wonderful job thank you for your sacrifice ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🎖💙.

[Toddzmom]

What a bunch of ungrateful people are posting here. You can't blame Biden for Vietnam, how about the fact he's doing this because it's far overdue.. Shame on you all..

I don't have one good thing to say about grandpa except I'll be glad when he is back to eating his ice cream and leave the country for good

[JohnSmith-bquf]

“[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788

[JohnSmith-bquf]

“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
-Patrick Henry, Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution

[googleoppressesfreespeech]

“On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823

[googleoppressesfreespeech]

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
