KTMrad 508 Posted July 18, 2018 Had to share... Met a Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient... This really nice guy John P. Baca who lives in my complex and has a Service Dog. We met a week ago and today he came down with his dog Jo Jo to hang out with us, he and Doc are buddies. As he was leaving, he said, "hey, would you like a Congressional Medal of Honor Coin" ? He proceeded to tell me how he jumped on a hand grenade, covering it with his helmet in Vietnam to save the other men in his platoon. He almost died but survived. His gut took the brunt of the explosion, he's lucky to be alive. I feel honored to know this man and his dog, and that he gave me 2 of the coins. We are glad to be friends with this true hero and his dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
