I was very, very moved by it all and we went to work and didn't give up and I'm delighted that we did.

Sergeant Major John Canley and John Canley heroism brought Congress together in a way that we don't always see in these hyper-partisan times, it does represent the best of all of us -- the best of our country and our patriotism.

We all know there's a somewhat dark place in our history when men and women returned from Vietnam. They returned to an ungrateful nation. And I think John Canley will say this award is so important because the Marines I served with are so deserving of this recognition, this will go down in the history books and hopefully correct a piece of that.
