🇺🇸 Thank a Veteran Thursday 🇺🇸
This week, we honor two extraordinary Vietnam War heroes — Maj. John Duffy and Staff Sgt. Edward Kaneshiro — who were recently awarded the Medal of Honor for their incredible acts of valor.
Maj. Duffy, even after being wounded, continued to call in airstrikes from dangerously close positions to protect his fellow soldiers. Staff Sgt. Kaneshiro, with complete selflessness, single-handedly cleared an enemy trench so his men could withdraw safely — an act his children say continues to inspire them to “be a better person, to be courageous and to have integrity.”
At the White House ceremony, President Biden said these awards were about “setting the record straight” after more than 50 years, reminding us that “time has not diminished their astonishing bravery, their selflessness in putting the lives of others ahead of their own, and the gratitude that we as a nation owe them.”
At Comfort Keepers, we proudly honor and care for veterans like Maj. Duffy and Staff Sgt. Kaneshiro. Through compassionate, personalized in-home support, we ensure those who sacrificed so much for our nation live with dignity, respect, and comfort.
💙 Thank you to these heroes, and to all veterans, for your courage, sacrifice, and enduring example of service.
