Noticing, I was surprised that so few have received this MOH; with a war spanning 9yrs.

RIP soldier. Condolences to the family for their loss as well.

I'm sure that the hands holding that plaque belong to a father that wishes he could have his son back...but respects the courage and valor and sacrifice his son showed on that day.

if you are a member (and maybe not needed?) of the Patriot Guard National Web Sight, Gene Goss, Senior Ride Captain in Florida represented the PGR at the white house ceremony

it was an honor to the PGR to be sent an invitation

There have been very few that have received the MOH. Very few even submitted for consideration.
