Other good ones will be Tom Norris and Bob Howard (who won his medal saving Norris, the only medal winner to receive the award saving another medal winner).


Bob Howard was a total stud, but he was Army SF. He was nominated 3 times for the MOH, but the first two actions were in Cambodia when were weren’t supposed to be there. In addition to his MOH and every other valor award, Howard received 8 Purple Hearts and lived to tell about it.

The SEAL who saved Tom Norris was Mike Thornton. And you are correct, that’s a great story. Plenty people know Norris’ name from the BAT-21 rescue mission, but Thonton’s rescue of Norris is even more incredible.

shite my bad, i meant Mike Thornton. I had already mentioned Howard for the SOG medals and just repeated his name on accident. His story is like a Rambo movie, but real and unembellished. His medal stack outside of the MOH is impressive as hell.
