The Nationwide Medal of Honor Museum has refused a stand-alone exhibit of Medal of Honor legend John Chapman when it opens in March, and the choice is being criticized harshly.
The Museum could have 200 displays detailing the private tales of MoH recipients, however Chapman is not going to be one in every of them.
David Hookstead from Outkick reports that Chapman, an Air Pressure fight controller with the twenty fourth STS, was killed in March 2002 during Operation Anaconda in the Battle of Takur Ghar.
He died alone on a mountain, combating to guard his fellow warriors.
Though he was bleeding to demise after being wounded a number of occasions, and coming out and in of consciousness, he continued to battle, killing enemy fighters to ensure Military Rangers flying in wouldn’t be shot out of the sky.
In 2018, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Sgt. Chapman and famous, “On this remaining act of supreme braveness, John gave his for all times for his fellow warriors.”
