The Biden administration is expected to award three Medals of Honor for combat heroism in Iraq and Afghanistan as early as next week, according to a report from The Washington Post.

Among the recipients is Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe, who died in November 2005 from injuries sustained while pulling soldiers from a burning vehicle in Iraq. His family and fellow soldiers have pushed for years for him to receive the honor that has been delayed due to paperwork, with some military advocates wondering whether it may have been an issue with his race.

Cashe would be the first Black veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to receive this highest honor.

Also expected to receive the Medal of Honor are Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee, a Green Beret who received the Silver Star in 2015, and Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Celiz, an Army Ranger who died in 2018 in Afghanistan.

You can damn sure bet if that fucking Traitor was still the Oval Office, this honor would be bestowed.
Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.
