    Oddly enough we had a national medal of honor come into our thrift store at work some years ago. They were going to sell it and I put a stop to that in a hurry. Needless to say it was packaged (along with several other medals and decorations) and sent back to the army where it belonged. I can't remember the gentlemans name but evidently after his death the family cleaned out his home and the medals came to us in his belongings.

    This was indeed one of the bravest events of the Great War
