Paris Davis' long road to Medal of Honor
Published 3 years ago
Description
There is a lot of paperwork that goes into getting someone awarded the Medal of Honor. In Paris Davis's case, it involved lost MOH packages, racism and over a 50-year wait. Neil Thorne, a national historical and military researcher and Jim Moriarty, a lawyer and Marine, were part of the team that helped advance the case for Paris Davis. Thorne and Moriarty were the MOH sherpas carrying the load uphill to get to the mountain top. They explain to host Jim Fausone the behind-the-scene challenges, obstacles and lucky breaks that led to this much deserved award.
