Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith

Announced today is the posthumous nomination for Congressional Medal of Honor for Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith. Take some time and read about him here, you'll be glad you did.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. -- Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.
