Robert Bush, a Navy Corpsman, received the MOH for his extreme bravery and determination as he saved lives while defending his platoon leader. The grave wounds he received didn't stop him either.
I am proud of his statement that he accepted the MOH award for those whose own actions deserved the Medal but weren't adequately documented. From a former Navy Corpsman.
“A custodian for those who died.” So typical of our heroes. It’s always about others. Wonderful you posted a second MOH recipient’s story this week! You know how much we appreciate them, Tara!
I've never heard of a combat survivor who didn't have survivor guilt. His custodial attitude towards the Medal isn't surprising, but astonishing nonetheless.
Robert Bush said, “We had thousands who lost their lives who were certainly identifiable as being able to receive the Medal of Honor. But perhaps it wasn’t properly documented. So, I look at it as though I’m a custodian for those who died.” Very humble man I learned of today. God bless them all.
Another humble MOH receiver - not wanting to take credit for his bravery or to sound his own horn. The Greatest generation was just that - humble, hardworking, willing to sacrifice for others and remembering why they had joined the service of their country. They truly made us all proud to be Americans.
Thank you Tara for a second MOH story this week.

Bod Bush was another example of our MOH awardees, and the greatest generation.
Thank you Tara 😊 So never underestimate the willingness of an eighteen year old Navy Corpsman! How deserving 👏 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Robert E Bush.
All of these stories are special. This one is especially moving because of the age of the hero.
