RE: Pics of Pappy Boyington's Corsair?
"Bottom line Pappy earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. Far be it for me to second guess the man 60 years later. "
Let's clear something up right now. It is NOT the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. The MEDAL OF HONOR is awarded by the President in the name of Congress. Let's take the politics out of the process because Congress does not deserve the credit for the individual earning the award. Congress approved the idea for the medal in 1862 but did not originate the idea for the medal.
