We’d all be dead if it wasn’t for the gunny,” said a former Marine private first class who served und er Medal of Honor nominee retired Sgt. Maj. John Canley.

Canley’s actions during the battle of Hue City, Vietnam , in 1968 have him one step away from receiving the nation’s highest award for combat valor, the Medal of Honor.

The former private first class, John Ligato, and others who served under Canley, then a gunnery sergeant during the infamous battle, have led a nearly 13-year effort to upgrade Canley’s Navy Cross to the Medal of Honor.

Millions more vets to be able to shop at exchanges online
Honorably discharged veterans could be able to shop online at military exchange websites as early as Veterans Day, barring any objections from Congress.
The change in Defense Department policy would open up online exchange shopping privileges to about 18 million more people. It won’t apply to shopping at brick-and-mortar exchange stores.
