Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Patterson shares the actions he took in the Vietnam War which earned him the Medal of Honor after being asked by a student Thursday at Fort Knox High School.
A recipient of the highest military award given by the United States government shared his less-than-award-winning moments Thursday with students at Fort Knox High School. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Patterson, a Medal of Honor recipient, visited the post school to speak to the entire student body as well as visit with JROTC members. Patterson encouraged students to stay in school and avoid the “stupid things” he had done in his life.
