For those wondering about the military medal with the red ribbon

... worn by some of the great heroes of World War Two at the State of the Union Address, I believe that it is the French Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honor.)

I am pleased that Mr. Trump devoted time to  honor and thank such men.

My father was one of them, not a solider, but a sailor stationed off the beach.

The French have been very good in remembering the men who freed them.

Thank you Tous.  I am here because of men like you father.

The scene with the US GI and the survivor of Dachau was beyond wonderful.

Remember to thank a veteran.

 

And, I don't remember Buzz Aldrin looking so old.

But, I was only nineteen when he sashayed around on the Moon and I don't remember me being as old as I am.

He can still throw a punch though.

Good for Buzz.

Did that fat, arrogant galoot think that he would scare a man that was seconds away from crashing on the danged Moon?

I think i could watch the end of that video over and over.

Actually.  I'd let Buzz punch me in the face.    It's worth it to say you were hit by one of the greatest this country ever produced.

Hell, i'd tell the cops i struck his fist with my face.  It's not his fault.
