This account of another “regular” guy sacrificing for others rends the heart. There’s no way we can adequately thank a young man like Gordon Craig and his family. The best way to show gratitude for his sacrifice and the sacrifice of so many other soldiers and their families is to seek to protect and preserve patriotically the values and traditions our country was founded upon. Thank you, Tara, for another Medal of Honor Monday post. Every post you painstakingly write and share is an inspiration to all of us.

Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday as we learn how a normal American kid becomes a Hero. Mr. Gordon Craig gave his life on a hill in Korea so that his men may have a chance to live. How heroic is that. American fighting men are all heroes in my opinion, but some like Mr. Craig are super heroes.

Gordon "Buddy" Craig was known as just a regular guy from a small town. Yet his selfless act to save his fellows was instantaneous and successful. May his memory and his dedication to others long be remembered.

A date needs to be corrected. If he got his MOH in 1951 he couldn’t have graduated in 1999. Oops! 😁. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It was not Corporal Gordon Craig who graduated in 1999 but alumnus Joel Gibson who was remarking on the recognition that was at the high school. 😊

A "Thank you" seems so inadequate.....

I've always been ambivalent about being medically unable to serve! These are much appreciated stories. Keep it up!

Another GREAT story of extreme sacrifice in the face of certain death!

His sacrifice lead to an important victory over that totalitarian regime!

Thank you Tara!
