Amen to that. I have heard similar stories such as these and I have to say that I too think that these men deserve the recognition that they rightly deserve. Unfortunately for most, they will not get to see the honor bestowed if it is awarded, but their descendants will gladly accept the recognition for their loved ones long departed from this earth.
I am so glad that you took the time to post this here. People need to be aware of what these men went through. Unfortunately their story is just one of many, but I feel it is never too late to give credit, where credit is due.
