On Monday the Chicago Tribune’s Kristin Scharnberg reported on the Medal of Honor awarded to Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul Smith, the first Medal of Honor recipient of the Iraq war: “Hero’s legacy: GI’s doing their job.” Don’t miss this one.
UPDATE: Joe Ebner writes:
Since you mentioned Paul Smith this morning I thought I would direct your attention to a special report of the St. Petersburg Times that goes into great detail of his heroic story: “The last full measure of devotion.” I can’t figure out how to access the report, but maybe you can.
