I just found out he passed.

His Service in uniform is legendary. He served five tours in Vietnam and
was wounded 14 times in those 54 months. In one 13-month tour, he was
nominated for the Medal of Honor three times, for three separate
actions—more than anyone else in history. He was the recipient of eight
Purple Hearts, two Distinguished Service Crosses, four Bronze Stars,
numerous Silver Stars, and yes, the Medal of Honor.


Did you know or operate with or under Col. Howard over there in VN?
