Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Second Lieutenant Robert E. Femoyer (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on November 2, 1944, over Merseburg, Germany. His citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty near Merseburg, Germany, on 2 November 1944. While on a mission, the bomber, of which 2d Lt. Femoyer was the navigator, was struck by 3 enemy antiaircraft shells. The plane suffered serious damage and 2d Lt. Femoyer was severely wounded in the side and back by shell fragments which penetrated his body. In spite of extreme pain and great loss of blood he refused an offered injection of morphine. He was determined to keep his mental faculties clear in order that he might direct his plane out of danger and so save his comrades. Not being able to arise from the floor, he asked to be propped up in order to enable him to see his charts and instruments. He successfully directed the navigation of his lone bomber for 2 1/2 hours so well it avoided enemy flak and returned to the field without further damage. Only when the plane had arrived in the safe area over the English Channel did he feel that he had accomplished his objective; then, and only then, he permitted an injection of a sedative. He died shortly after being removed from the plane. The heroism and self-sacrifice of 2d Lt. Femoyer are in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.

First Lieutenant Arthur M. Ferguson (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on September 28, 1899, near Porac, Luzon, Philippine Islands. His citation reads:

Charged alone a body of the enemy and captured a captain.

Chief Warrant Officer Frederick Edgar Ferguson (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on January 31, 1968, at Hue, Republic of Vietnam. His citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. CWO Ferguson, U.S. Army distinguished himself while serving with Company C. CWO Ferguson, commander of a resupply helicopter monitoring an emergency call from wounded passengers and crewmen of a downed helicopter under heavy attack within the enemy controlled city of Hue, unhesitatingly volunteered to attempt evacuation. Despite warnings from all aircraft to stay clear of the area due to heavy antiaircraft fire, CWO Ferguson began a low-level flight at maximum airspeed along the Perfume River toward the tiny, isolated South Vietnamese Army compound in which the crash survivors had taken refuge. Coolly and skillfully maintaining his course in the face of intense, short range fire from enemy occupied buildings and boats, he displayed superior flying skill and tenacity of purpose by landing his aircraft in an extremely confined area in a blinding dust cloud under heavy mortar and small-arms fire. Although the helicopter was severely damaged by mortar fragments during the loading of the wounded, CWO Ferguson disregarded the damage and, taking off through the continuing hail of mortar fire, he flew his crippled aircraft on the return route through the rain of fire that he had experienced earlier and safely returned his wounded passengers to friendly control. CWO Ferguson's extraordinary determination saved the lives of 5 of his comrades. His actions are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself and the U.S. Army.


If you follow I’m just sayin… on twitter, then you already know that I was at a live WWE event last night with my cousin Alan and my Uncle George. Alan got us floor seats (7th row)… so I couldn’t turn him down. Now I get to cross one more thing off of my Bucket List. Sure, I haven’t followed professional wrestling since probably the late ‘90s/early 2000s… so I needed Alan to help catch me up on who was who and if they were good or bad. There were times I had to ask him if I should clap or boo… but it was fun. Actually, it was a lot of fun. I had a great time and I’m glad Alan asked me to go. I even got a great shirt out of it… it’s a little tight right now, but now I have even more incentive to lose weight. The Wife hates the shirt… how much more incentive does one guy need? Anyway, look for some pics tomorrow from this weekend (which included a little Derby/Cinco de Mayo get together Saturday night).
