Thank you Tara for another MOH story on Wednesday. Jose Jimenez was awarded the honor posthumously due to his extreme Valor. God bless Mr. Jimenez who fought in honor of the adopted country he loved. God bless all who have served or serve this great nation.

This quote says it all.

“JoJo was just a fantastic human being,” Jones concluded. It was a “fantastic bunch of young boys that fought in that war, and I hope that they’re always remembered.”

Thank you Tara. May we always remember!

Yes, it was a fantastic bunch of young boys that fought in that war, despite what society and the media tried to make them out to be. Thank you Lance Corporal Jimenez.

Yes, they were pawns of the media used to subvert the government and popular opinion. So sad.

Simper Fi Lance Coporal JoJo. Seems you have once again been remembered by Tara Ross and her audience of readers. Rest in Peace with my three comrades I served with that were also returned in a Flag covered coffin.

What a great “American” from Mexico. Jose Jimenez was a good man who respected his adopted country and ended up giving his life for it. He went above and beyond what even natural born citizens wouldn’t go. It’s always especially tragic when they don’t make it back. We need to learn these heroes stories and remember their service.
