Staff Sergeant Franklin Douglas "Coleslaw" Miller, 3rd SF Group (Airborne), earned the Medal of Honor on 5 January 1970. He was back in battle shortly thereafter. (All SF guys have nicknames, and Miller's is easy to figure out--he ate a LOT of coleslaw.) CPT Roger Donlon earned his Medal on 6 July 1964--he was the first Medal of Honor recipient of the Vietnam War. He also returned to action. Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, USMC earned his Medal of Honor on Guadacanal during the Battle of Henderson Field (24-25 October 1942) with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines commanded by the legendary "Chesty" Puller. After a bond tour stateside his request to return to the Pacific got him back in time for Iwo Jima on 19 Februay 1945 where he won the Navy Cross and was killed in action. And then there's my favorite recipient, Capt. William McGonagle, who holds the dubious distinction of being the only Medal of Honor recipient to earn his Medal in combat against a friendly nation--he was skipper of the USS Liberty, which was attacked by the Israeli Defense Force.
