The report that Mamdani will require photo identification to use his “free’ government grocery stores is one more example of the hypocrisy and dishonesty of the big government socialists. In Washington the Democrats are fighting against the use of photo identification for voting even though over 80% of the American people favor it. In New York City (where the House and Senate Democratic leaders are from) the Democrats are going to ask for photo identification to buy “government run free” groceries. The dishonesty and hypocrisy just keeps getting worse and worse.

Gordon Roberts was an Ohio kid who enlisted in the Army in May 1968, three days after he graduated high school. A year later, at 19, he was a specialist in Company B, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne, fighting in the A Shau Valley, the same brutal stretch of ground where today's operation was taking place.

On July 11, 1969, his company was trying to take a hill in the valley and got pinned down cold by North Vietnamese troops dug into a line of bunkers, the kind of interlocking fire that chews a company to pieces and stops it dead. What Roberts did next, more or less alone, is almost hard to believe.

He got up and charged the nearest bunker by himself, through the fire, and knocked it out. Enemy gunfire hit his rifle and tore it right out of his hands, so he grabbed another weapon off the ground and kept going, assaulting a second bunker and destroying it. Then a third, which he took out with grenades. Then a fourth. One teenager, moving straight into entrenched machine guns one position at a time, personally ripping a hole in the enemy line that had his whole company pinned. When he was done with the bunkers, he crossed open, fire swept ground to help carry wounded men from another company to safety.

His one man assault broke the position. President Nixon gave him the Medal of Honor in 1971.

And then Gordon Roberts did something almost no one else did. He finished his enlistment, went to college on the GI Bill, got married, raised two kids, and became a social worker, spending years quietly helping people. Then, in 1991, he went back. He rejoined the Army as a commissioned officer and served for two more decades, all over the world, finally retiring as a full colonel in 2012. He was the last Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient still serving on active duty, a man who wore the uniform across five different decades. A 19 year old who took four bunkers alone, then came back and gave the Army most of his life.

Harvey Barnum was a 25 year old Marine lieutenant from Connecticut, an artillery officer, and on December 18, 1965 he was not even supposed to be in that fight. He was on temporary duty, tagged onto a rifle company, Company H of the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, as a forward observer to call in artillery. Everyone called him Barney. By the end of that day he would be one of the first Marines to earn the Medal of Honor in Vietnam.

The company was moving near the village of Ky Phu during Operation Harvest Moon when it walked into a savage ambush. In minutes the unit was cut off from the rest of the battalion by more than 500 meters of open, fire swept ground, taking casualties fast. Then the two worst things happened at once. The company commander was mortally wounded, and the radio operator right next to him was killed. The company was leaderless, pinned, bleeding, and out of contact, the exact recipe for a unit getting wiped out.

Barnum did not hesitate, even though this was not his company and not his job. He ran through the fire to the dying commander, pulled the radio off the dead operator's body, strapped it on himself, and took command of a rifle company he had barely met. He got on the net, called in airstrikes and artillery, and started pulling the shattered company back together. He organized the defense, arranged for helicopters to come in and lift out the dead and wounded under fire, and then he did the thing that becomes legend. He drew his .45 pistol, stood up, and told the Marines to follow him, and he led a counterattack straight into the enemy to break the trap.

It worked. Barnum's counterattack cleared the enemy, and he fought the company across those 500 meters of open ground to link back up with the battalion, bringing his dead and wounded with him. A young artillery observer who happened to be there had saved an entire rifle company from destruction.

He received the Medal of Honor in 1967. And like so many of these men, Barney Barnum did not use it as an exit. He volunteered to go back to Vietnam for a second tour, stayed in the Marine Corps for a full career, retired a colonel, and later served as an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, spending his life in service to the Corps and its people. He is alive today, and the Navy has now named a destroyer, the USS Harvey C. Barnum, after him, so his name goes to sea. Not bad for a lieutenant who was just visiting.

If I had to pick one player to build around for a single elimination game, it's Jalen Brunson and it isn't close.

The Spurs had Wemby, home court, and 19,000 people convinced the series was coming back to New York.

Brunson dropped 45 with an injured shooting hand on all of them and closed it in five.

11.2 points per game in the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals.

The highest since the league started tracking it. Nobody else has cracked 10. LeBron, Curry, Durant, Jokic, none of them.

When the margin disappears and everybody's watching, he doesn't shrink. He hunts.

That's why he's Finals MVP.

PFC Raymond Michael "Mike" Clausen Jr., USMC was a Marine helicopter crew chief.

Hospital Corpsman Second Class Donald E. Clausen, USN was a U.S. Navy corpsman assigned to the Marines. Navy corpsmen routinely serve alongside Marine infantry units and are often mistakenly referred to as Marines, but they remain sailors.

The dramatic minefield rescue you described is Donald E. Clausen's Medal of Honor action, not Raymond Clausen's.

A Marine platoon unknowingly entered a minefield during combat in Vietnam. Explosions tore through the unit, leaving eleven Marines wounded and one dead. With enemy fire continuing, Hospital Corpsman Second Class Donald E. Clausen repeatedly crossed the uncleared minefield to reach the casualties. Six times he carried wounded—or fallen—Marines back to the evacuation helicopter. During one rescue, another mine exploded, killing a fellow corpsman and wounding three others nearby. Despite the danger, Clausen refused to stop until every casualty had been evacuated. Only then did he signal the pilot to lift off.For his extraordinary heroism and selfless devotion to duty, Donald E. Clausen was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Richard Nixon in 1971.
