Victoria Cross (Medal of Honor is the USA equivalent)
Met Willie Apiata VC today!
What an amazing man. Very friendly. We talked about the Hauraki Regiment which both he & my Grandfather served in and about Karate and how he learnt a bit in the SAS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Ze...al_Air_Service It was an Honour meeting him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Apiata Its the 2nd Man awarded the VC that I have been lucky to meet in person- the other was Jack Hinton VC way back in 1977 at an ANZAC Day Parade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hinton |

Early in my career, military electronics, USA, I had the honor and privilege to work with a medal of honor US marine. He was a very humble and incredible individual. He was amazing and I was in complete awe of him. I will never forget him!!!
