Dear Comrades,

In the Veterans of Foreign Wars, our bond is forged in shared sacrifice, enduring camaraderie, and an unwavering commitment to our motto: "No One Does More For Veterans." Today, we reflect on one of the finest examples of American valor in modern military history—the story of Airman First Class William H. Pitsenbarger, USAF.

On April 11, 1966, near Cam My, Republic of Vietnam, "Pits"—a 21-year-old Air Force Pararescueman with the 38th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron—volunteered to ride a rescue hoist into dense jungle to aid wounded soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division surrounded by enemy forces.

Refusing evacuation when his rescue helicopter was severely damaged, Airman Pitsenbarger chose to remain on the ground under relentless enemy fire. He treated the wounded, distributed ammunition, and repeatedly placed himself between danger and his fellow service members until he was mortally wounded. His courage ensured that nine wounded soldiers survived that day.

For his actions, Airman First Class Pitsenbarger was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross, later upgraded to the Medal of Honor in December 2000.



Pitsenbarger’s legacy reminds us why we continue to stand together as veterans. Valor is not merely about surviving the fight—it is about looking to the comrade on your left and right and committing completely to their well-being.

As we continue our work supporting local veterans, wounded warriors, and military families, let us carry forward the spirit of selflessness exemplified by heroes like A1C Pitsenbarger.

Thank you for your continued service, your dedication to our post, and your commitment to honoring those who gave all.

Yours in Comradeship and Service,

VFW Post 1111, Mooresville IN

As we continue to focus on our daily lives and the challenges ahead, I want to take a moment to reflect on the core values of leadership, sacrifice, and dedication. A profound example of these values is found in the story of Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, a U.S. Navy SEAL who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan on June 27 and 28, 2005.



LT Murphy was leading a four-man special reconnaissance element deep behind enemy lines in the rugged Hindu Kush mountains, tasked with locating a high-level anti-coalition militia leader. After being compromised, his small team was surrounded and ambushed by an overwhelming force of 30 to 40 enemy fighters.



Pushed down a steep, treacherous ravine and taking heavy casualties—with all four SEALs sustaining wounds—LT Murphy realized their radio communications were blocked by the extreme terrain. Knowing that his men would not survive without immediate support, he made a conscious decision to leave his covered position. He moved into a completely exposed clearing, deliberately drawing intense enemy fire, to get a clear signal on his satellite phone.



While actively making the call to the Special Operations Joint Task Force, LT Murphy was shot in the back, causing him to drop the transmitter. In a display of unimaginable composure and willpower, he picked the phone back up, completed the transmission to provide his unit's location, and even signed off by saying, "Thank you." He then returned to his team's defensive perimeter to continue the fight until he was mortally wounded.



Because of LT Murphy's conspicuous gallantry and total disregard for his own life, rescue helicopters were dispatched, which ultimately led to the survival and rescue of one of his teammates, Hospital Corpsman Second Class Marcus Luttrell.



LT Murphy's actions remain a testament to what it means to serve a cause greater than oneself. As we tackle issues in our daily lives, let his unwavering commitment to his team in the face of impossible odds serve as an enduring inspiration for us all. Let's bring that same level of dedication to our mission and to each other today.

Today's Medal of Honor Monday highlights the extraordinary bravery and resilience of a United States Marine: Corporal William "Kyle" Carpenter.

On November 21, 2010, while deployed in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Cpl. Carpenter and a fellow Marine, Lance Cpl. Nick Eufrazio, were manning a rooftop security position. When an enemy hand gr***de landed inside their sandbagged perimeter, Cpl. Carpenter did not hesitate. Without regard for his own life, he threw himself toward the gr***de, absorbing the brunt of the blast to shield his brother-in-arms.

Cpl. Carpenter survived the catastrophic explosion, but his injuries were severe. He flatlined multiple times, lost his right eye, and underwent approximately 40 surgeries to rebuild his face and body.

Yet, what makes his story truly inspirational is not just his split-second decision on that rooftop, but his unwavering spirit in the years that followed. He tackled his grueling recovery with profound gratitude and determination—eventually going on to run marathons, skydive, and graduate from college.

Cpl. Carpenter’s story reminds us of the ultimate meaning of commitment—putting the mission and the person next to you above yourself. It also teaches us a profound lesson in resilience. When faced with unimaginable adversity and setbacks, we always have a choice in how we respond and move forward.

As we tackle the challenges of this week, let's carry that spirit with us. Look out for your comrades, approach obstacles with resilience, and remember the standard of selfless service set by those who wear the Medal of Honor.
