Former Army Capt. William Swenson of Seattle to receive Medal of Honor

[Dive08]

"Swenson was first nominated in 2009, but Marine Gen. John Allen, then the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, resubmitted the paperwork in 2011 after officials said the original nomination had been lost. "

Can't believe they even lose MOH paperwork, although given how many awards I've had to resubmit, maybe I can.

CPT Swenson--you exemplify courage, compassion and truthfulness--qualities that bring honor (and usually irritate and anger incompetent leaders).
