The Manchurian Candidate

The Manchurian Candidate


This nation jealously guards
its highest award for valour,
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
In the Korean war,
with 5, 720,000 personnel engaged,
only 77 men were so honoured.
One of these 77 men
was Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw.
Raymond Shaw was returned
from combat and flown to Washington
to be decorated personally
by the President of the United States.
This is why his presence,
or that of any Medal of Honor winner,
is sufficient to bring generals
to their feet, saluting.
Congratulations, son. How do you feel?

The Manchurian Candidate


Raymond Shaw was decorated
at the White House
by the President of the United States.
His citation, attested to by
his commanding officer Captain Marco
and the nine surviving members
of his patrol,
read in part: "Displaying valour
above and beyond the call of duty,
did single-handedly save the lives
of nine members of his patrol,
capturing an enemy machine-gun nest
and taking out
a full company of enemy infantry."
"He led his patrol, which had been listed
as missing in action for three days,
back through the enemy lines to safety."
A gift from the Citizens For Iselin
Committee for his last birthday.
It saved our lives during the campaign.
You see, this opens up into a double bed.
This is the press room.
And this... This is my private office.
Anything to take the pain
out of campaigning, eh?
That's what I always say!
- May I take this thing off now, Mother?
- Raymond, what is the matter with you?
You look as if your head
were about to come to a point.
Johnny, fix him a drink.
Sit down, Raymond!
We'll be home in less than three hours.
I'm not going home with you, Mother.
I'm going to New York.
What?!
I've got a job on a newspaper.
Research assistant
to Mr Holborn Gaines.
Holborn Gaines? That Communist?!
He's not a Communist, Mother.
As a matter of fact, he's a Republican.
But the terrible things
he's written about Johnny!
He came to interview me
at the White House.
Afterwards I asked him for a job.
He gave it to me.
We discovered that we had
a great deal in common.
What could you possibly have
in common with that dreadful old man?

Obama awards Medal of Honor to Afghan war veteran

President Barack Obama bestowed the nation's highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, on Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter on Monday, saluting the veteran of the war in Afghanistan as "the essence of true heroism," one still engaged in a battle against the lingering emotional fallout of war.

WASHINGTON —

President Barack Obama bestowed the nation's highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, on Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter on Monday, saluting the veteran of the war in Afghanistan as "the essence of true heroism," one still engaged in a battle against the lingering emotional fallout of war.

Carter risked his life to save an injured soldier, resupply ammunition to his comrades and render first aid during intense fighting in a remote mountain outpost four years ago.

"As these soldiers and families will tell you, they're a family forged in battle, and loss, and love," Obama said as Carter stood at his side and members of his unit watched in the White House East Room.

Then as an Army specialist, Carter sprinted from his barracks into a ferocious firefight, a day-long battle on Oct. 3, 2009, that killed eight of his fellow soldiers as they tried to defend their outpost - at the bottom of a valley and surrounded by high mountains - from the onslaught of a much larger force of Taliban and local fighters.

Official Narrative

Staff Sergeant Ty Michael Carter

UNITED STATES ARMY

On Oct. 3, 2009, many Soldiers distinguished themselves when more than 300 Anti-Afghan forces, or AAF, attempted to overrun Combat Outpost, or COP, Keating, a company-sized outpost in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. On that day, of the 53 members of B Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, who defended the position, eight Soldiers were killed, and more than 25 were injured.

Of these men, one Soldier’s gallantry stood out. Without regard to his own safety, Spc. Ty Michael Carter proved himself time and time again.

U.S. Army sergeant to receive Medal of Honor at White House ceremony on Monday

August 26, 2013 Reuters

WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will present the Medal of Honor on Monday to Army Staff Sergeant Ty Carter, who risked his life to save a wounded soldier who was pinned down by enemy fire during a battle in Afghanistan, the White House said.

This is the highest military honor the United States presents to a member of the armed services. Carter is the second U.S. service member to receive the award for bravery in the Oct. 3, 2009 battle, during which Taliban insurgents tried to overrun Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan's isolated Nuristan province.
