After 55 years, a vet is finally honored.

What can you say to a man who says his years in a WW2 concentration camp was basic training for when he became a POW?

Fascinating story. After reading about the Jewish vets who didn't receive MOHs, I need to look into Bernie Schneider's reco for his Silver Star. While wounded himself, he dragged a number of other wounded (I think 11, IIRC) to safety while under constant rifle, automatic machine gun and mortar fire.
