American leaders have made many mistakes, but one tribute can always be given: the American soldier has always been a hero. There are so many inspiring, beautiful stories about the great heroes of American history which are scarcely ever told. One happens on them accidentally—buried in a thick, out-of-print biography, in small print on a museum sign, casually and fleetingly mentioned in an obscure educational video. America cannot return to greatness in the future if we do not truly understand the greatness of our past. That is why I am writing an article series to tell a few of these little-known but moving or illustrative “untold stories” of American greatness.
When I attended the Army Ranger School in 1978, one of our instructors was Major Robert Howard. As Sgt. Howard, he was a recipient of the Medal of Honor while serving in Vietnam. He was actually nominated for three separate actions, one of which he won the Medal, and the for other two he won Silver Stars. The definition of a war hero.

THANKYOU for these!
