Every weekday for 110 straight days we will feature a different living recipient of the Medal of Honor. These are the men who have received their nation's highest military honor.

Norris's efforts against the enemy are very impressive. Saving Lt. Colonel Hambleton by putting him in that boat and covering him with the vegetation took alot of risk. And then later leading that fierce battle. He and Michael Thornton are both deserving of the award. Then Mr. Norris served in the FBI. Great dedication. Too bad he retired they could use his help now. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Medal of Honor: Thomas R.

Norris should be at everyone's bedside as a reminder of the &amp;quot;risky business&amp;quot; our soldiers engage in to make it possible for a culture like ours to live, think and speak freely. And while many of our government leaders seemingly take their power for granted and pontificate about reasons for war with no chance of them or their loved ones actually participating in combat, the stories of Lt. Norris and those like him should be daily mandatory reading before sending in our troops and marching on a country without complete and thorough planning for the consequences. It's embarassing and demoralizing that today's White House has not understood this? </description></item><item><title>Medal of Honor: Thomas R.

Col. Iceal Hambleton, &amp;nbsp;BAT-21. &amp;nbsp;He was a humble wonderful man. &amp;nbsp;He told me that he thought about it every day: not only about what Tom Norris did in saving him, but also about the six men killed attempting to save him on day three of his shootdown.</description></item></channel></rss>
