Vietnam-era pilot earns MoH

Army Capt. Larry L. Taylor refused to give up. He refused to leave his fellow Americans behind. He refused to put his own life above the lives of others in need, President Joe Biden said today while awarding the Medal of Honor to Taylor for his heroic acts during the Vietnam War.

Sidebar: President Biden was accused of being disrespectful after he quickly exited the East Room of the White House before the conclusion of a MoH ceremony honoring a Vietnam War veteran. Biden, 80, abruptly left the ceremony after fastening the nation’s highest military decoration around the neck of retired Army Capt. Larry Taylor, 81, before the closing benediction was read by Chaplain Brig. Gen. William Green Jr. Biden ripped for leaving Medal of Honor ceremony early: 'ABHORRENT' (msn.com)
