A bipartisan pair of congressmen are introducing a bill to give Medal of Honor recipients a big pension pay raise to $100,000 a year instead of the current $1,500 a month payments.
Nearly 60 years after first being recommended for the medal of honor, retired Green Beret Col. Paris Davis has received the top military award for his Vietnam service. Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the details.Texas Republican Rep. Troy Nehls and New Hampshire Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas are looking to finally give Medal of Honor recipients a big raise to their pensions.
"This bill is a small step forward, but is the least that we, as Congress, can do to show our support for our selfless heroes and begin the broader dialogue to ensure all our veterans, and their families, receive the care and resources they need," the former sheriff added. The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award, having only been awarded to 3,515 service members since its inception in 1863 during the Civil War.
