Words of the Week

Remembering heroic actions, whatever the government may say.


"I asked the general, 'How can you say that there were doubts and yet you give us a Navy Cross citation that says that Sergeant Peralta did the exact same thing the Marines say he did?'" I told him, 'Every single Medal of Honor from now on is going to be tainted because of what's been done to Peralta.' The Marines are never going to give up. We're never going to give up fighting for Peralta's medal."

- George Sabga, "What Happened to Valor?", New York Times Magazine
