A Forgotten American Hero / Medal of Freedom

This petition was published by Kathy Thornton on Dec 08, 2002

Mr. President, Gov. Haley Barbour, The Secretaries of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy,

You and many others have recognized LTC James D. Thornton of the Mississippi State Guard for his heroism through many letters of commendation and other ways. No one has pinned a medal on him though for saving over 500 lives and we ask that you do so now and abide by the nominations of Sen. Edward Robertson (Ala.) 1996 and Gov. Kirk Fordice (Ms.) 1999 and award this HERO, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, The Mississippi Medal of Honor, The Magnolia Cross, The Alabama Distinguished Service Medal for Valor and his other U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy awards he has earned.
