BIDEN: Medal fact check

| December 29, 2017 12:00 AM

Allen Mazur needs to get his facts straight before promoting Joe Biden as a presidential candidate.

I like Joe Biden, but don’t give him credit for the Congressional Medal of Honor. Biden never even served in the military and received an exemption during the Vietnam War era because of asthma.

He did though receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from his boss at the time, President Obama.
