I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.
Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman was one of the world’s most elite special operators. My husband Andy was a combat controller, and I am an Air Force veteran; we know firsthand how men like CCT Chapman leave a legacy that must be honored forever.
It is outrageous that, because of personal interests and self-gratification, the board of this new museum (to include Britt Slabinski who is not only a board member of the museum but also according to the ISR footage, left Chapman for dead) has decided not to exhibit a brave man like CCT Chapman properly. Especially being that he is the ONLY ever recorded medal of honor recipient in US history.
They should be ashamed and embarrassed about their decision to exclude him. They should immediately apologize and order a meritorious exhibit in this museum that honors our nation’s heroes. CCT Chapman will never be forgotten. If the museum wants to continue to play politics, I would caution Americans from visiting.
