Jefferson DeBlanc, another MOH recipient who felt that he did nothing special, just did his job.
Mr. DeBlanc bravely and calmly shot down 5 or 6 enemy planes on a mission where he knew that he couldn't make it back without bailing out. I call him a Hero. Thank you Tara.
Such courage! What might have happened had he not pushed forward, protecting the bombers? Mission accomplished--and then some! Thanks, Tara, for such a story.
Thanks for reminding us of the heroes in our midst. We never know who they are or when their moments are coming. Let us always be aware and never forget...
Another GREAT story of a Hero going into battle and taking down the enemy knowing he wouldn't be able to make the flight back to base! A GREAT man doing GREAT things in the face of whatever might happen to him!
Thank you, Tara, for this story of courage under known outcome!
Jefferson DeBlanc ‘s story is familiar, but it’s always good to read about our courageous heroes and their brave deeds under dangerous circumstances. Like many others he received the medal on behalf of those who fought with him and those who never made it home.

"We Got it Together " what more could anyone ask of Jefferson! Thank you Tara for another great MOH Monday. 👍
🇺🇲 Colonel DeBlanc didn't think he'd done anything special. A refrain we hear from MoH winners.
Thanks for sharing his story, TR! 🇺🇸

A highlight of Monday is learning the story of a MoH recepitant. I really enjoy reading them to know of and about them. Thank you Tara.

An ace in one day! Not many can claim that feat. I know Chuck Yeager did. Anyone know of any others that shot down 5 planes in one day?

Like all MOH recipients they all felt those who gave all were more brave than themselves, and thought the medals belong to them.
Seems like he was enjoying his conquests and his parachute ride. Thank you Mr DeBlanc for your heroism!
Thank you for all the great reads Tara. Another simple person rising up to do what was necessary for the greater good.
Thank you for another amazing story of people doing extraordinary work!
The whole story is sensational!

A Hero of the First Order!
