Wonderful, I can’t say that I saw it because truthfully, I have a tough time watching this Pres. do anything. It is a wonderful honor though and from what I have read Sgt. Romesha truly deserved it!

I saw some of the Medal of Honor ceremony on the local news and on NBC News this evening. They showed some footage of COP Keating in Afghanistan. Those guys were between a rock and a hard place during that firefight with the Taliban.

Maybe someone can answer a question about battlefield commissions for me. The Medal of Honor is the highest award you can receive in the military. Clinton Romesha was awarded the Medal of Honor, but I don’t think he got a battlefield commission. Why didn’t Romesha also get a battlefield commission?
I had a great uncle receive a battlefield commission in World War I. His name was Eugene Cruise; he was promoted from a sergeant to a second lieutenant; he fought with the Rainbow Division—General Doug MacArthur’s outfit.
