first of all, I'm not a US citizen, I'm hungarian, but I want to share this great hero's history, and i want to make a tribute for him
and i also dedicated this tribute to all of men and women (family members, riders, patriots, veterans...etc) who never enable to forget these great heros
"It is important for future generations that we remember our military heroes and the great sacrifices they have made for us in the name of Freedom."

1 year ago.........February 22., 2010. - Arlington National Cemetery - Col. Howard :medalofhonor: ....a final farewell
9886 Col. Robert “Bob” Howard Sr.
He is considered to be the most decorated American soldier of the Vietnam War, having been nominated 3-times for the Medal of Honor, and recipient of 8-puple hearts for wounds (14 times) received during his 5-tours in Vietnam.
During Vietnam, he served in the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and spent most of his five tours in the super-secret MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group) also known as Special Operations Group, which ran classified cross-border operations into Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam. These men carried out some of the most daring and dangerous missions ever conducted by the U.S. military.
I can't say anything more, you should watch this videos, read these webpages.......
