SFC Paul Smith, Medal of Honor

Donald Sensing reports on the decision to award the Medal of Honor to Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith for his service on April 4, 2003. There are only 129 living recipients of America's highest honor; SFC Smith will not join their numbers. SFC Smith was killed in action defending his soldiers. His medal will be accepted on his behalf by his wife and children.

More information on the Medal of Honor and the 3,439 recipients of the award can be found here. I cannot recommend reading some of the citations highly enough.

I apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
