Video Transcript
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Today we are hosting a true American hero, and awarding an honor that is long overdue. More than 70 years overdue. Colonel, I'm humbled to have you here today. I really am, along with your loving family, and I award you the Medal of Honor. And though I understand that your first response to hosting this event was to ask why all the fuss? Why all the fuss? Can't they just mail it to me? I was going to make a joke about the Post Office but decided not to do that. Colonel Puckett, after 70 years, rather than military I would have walked it to you. You know, your lifetime of service to our nation I think deserves a little bit of fuss. A little bit of fuss.

Korea is sometimes called the forgotten war. But those men who were there under Lieutenant Puckett's command-- they'll never forget his bravery. They never forget that he was right by their side throughout every minute of it.
