  1. Man, imagine being screwed over by the military system so badly that you have to wait your entire lifetime literally 6 entire decade's to get your medal. Only to have it handed to you by the most senile dementia ridden pretender ever to occupy office. Thank you for your service sir. I'm sorry you had to wait and I'm truly sorry you had to receive it from the same person making it impossibly expensive for you to buy your groceries. Don't bother libs I won't be checking your noise/replies.

  2. A real American hero

  3. President Biden the right man for the moment a true slayer of racism and fascism

  4. Think carefully and you will see, according to the US, Russia is invading Ukraine, a sovereign country. Then, what Russia is doing to Ukraine now is the same as what the US and its allies did to Vietnam 7 decades ago: invading a sovereign country, and supporting the secessionist government. And the US opposes the invasion of Russia, but still, honors their soldiers for what they caused in Vietnam in the 20th century??? Ridiculous. US's double standard is a joke

  5. Well deserved !!! Congratulations Green Beret

  6. Col. Davis, words can'not express how i'm feeling right now, just leaving this comment is an absolute honor. You are one of he greatest American hero's EVER!! Thank you for your service, GOD BLESS YOU. My most heartfelt SALUTE, TO YOU, sir! God bless America.

  7. God Bless you and him 🙏

  8. Fantastic, congratulations to him.

  9. It's about time 🇺🇸👍

  10. I apologize from the American people that you had to receive it from Biden.

  11. Despicable. Amerikkkan behavior. Fought for a country who hated him then and STILL hates him 🤔

  12. Was we on Americas team or the other team?

  13. This is a President who brings dignity back to the White House.

  14. Ironic to thank "the Lord" for blessing on military action that kills others of "His" beloved children — often literally children.

  15. I wish the vet didn't have to have Joe present the medel. It's like a criminal giving a police officer a badge, not cool. Good Bless the soldier though.

  16. And a medal for the mass murder of civilians in other countries !! A goat whose hands are up to the elbows in blood !!!

  17. Trump avoided military draft to go to Vietnam war. He said people who went to VN war were losers.
    Today, Biden awards a Medal-of-Honor to a deserving VN War Veteran & Hero. Who is the loser here ??? Trump or Biden ???

  18. Ask me how many Vietnam Veterans are here in California wondering the streets, helpless deemed too much bc of their mental state. Proud for that Vet but hurts to see 100’s if not 1000’s just waiting for their last day just on a street like they mean nothing.

  19. Thank Col. Paris Davis for your service and all Vietnam Veterans. Thank you President Biden.

  20. 👽👾🎈👾👽🤑🤑🤑 Afghanistan Vietnam Vietnam Ukraine the most corrupt country government president According to the Centre for Research on Globalisation, much of the $53.7 billion that the United States plans to give Ukraine will be stolen in corruption schemes orchestrated by Ukraine’s military, oligarchs, and government officials.

    On a side note, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s net worth is about $30 million. He and his inner circle also have their own network of offshore companies. These have in the past been used to buy expensive properties in London. The documents also show that just before he was elected, he gifted his stake in a key offshore company, the British Virgin Islands-registered Maltex Multicapital Corp., to his business partner, who would go on to be appointed as Zelenksy’s top presidential aide.

  21. can't stand Joe, but this was cool of him to do.
