Subject: Richard Etchberger is Getting His MOH Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:52 am
The White House is currently presenting the MOH to the sons of Richard Etchberger. He was a 'Nam Air Force radarman who held off an enemy assault and got two (IIRC) wounded comrades onto MedEvac before dying from his wounds. Glad to see somebody so worthy is finally getting noticed. Too bad it had to wait over 40 years, but at least they did get around to it. FYI, in case any of you hadn't heard.

That must be the story on the cover of AF times... not that I buy AF times. I always find that periodical dissapointing.
