Always surprised he's not more well known for his work in the 1990's representing the King family during their lawsuit that resulted in a jury saying the US government killed MLK.

YoungWillz 19,419 Posted May 15 As we don't yet have a Vietnam thread. On 27/09/2022 at 06:26, The Immortal said: So the annual Medal of Honor recipients convention happened earlier this September and Korean War recipient Ralph Puckett was there, looked even frailer than at his Medal of Honor ceremony. Hiroshi Miyamura didn't show up which isn't a good sign either especially as he was a regular at these conventions, so what Ulitzer said about them both looking like shit, definitely seems to be the case here. I wouldn't see them lasting long either. They are a fast dwindling group, so much so that many believe this will be the last proper Medal of Honor recipient convention and I can see why as some of the Vietnam War MOH recipients who were there looked quite frail, also found out a few other recipients who were not at the event that are now frail, Michael Thornton in particular stands out to me because he seemed healthy a couple months ago but now he looks quite frail and he's using a cane, not to mention he usually wouldn't miss such events. Roger Donlon, who I've mentioned several times before as he has end-stage Parkinson's disease for a while now, somehow attended the convention (potentially one for the immortals list?) but his wife who's basically his spokesperson nowadays, pretty much confirmed this will be Roger's last time attending for obvious reasons. So the full list of MOH recipients that I know of that are in poor health or are otherwise frail as of right now, are Ralph Puckett, Hiroshi Miyamura, Roger Donlon, Barney Barnum, Allen James Lynch, John Duffy, Gary Wetzel, Clarence Sasser and Michael Thornton. Clarence Sasser reportedly dead: https://today.tamu.edu/2024/05/15/medal-of-honor-recipient-former-student-dies-at-76/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
