Not that I love a veto of a defense bill but if they insist on kneeling at the altar of political correctness fuck them. Biden and his left-wing lunatics can reinstate it in a few weeks. And that should please the fake conservatives and outright Lefty's WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Well hell I was looking forward to having Ft. Roy Benevidez nearby, instead of Ft. John Bell Hood. I was lucky enough to get an hour or so talking with him in Austin once as a fellow VN Vet. He was the most humble "hero" you could ever meet. Insisted that his Medal of Honor was really for all those guys who were never recognized for the heroic things they did or the sacrifices they made. He went out of his way to say a few kind words to every vet who came up to him while we were talking. He would deserve the honor of a Ft. renamed for him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Benavidez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
