Thief Steals Medal of Honor from HeroLet's hope that
his conscience gets to him:
Sammy L. Davis was awarded the nation's highest military honor for his bravery and skill during a ferocious Vietnam War firefight that killed about 30 of his comrades.
Davis has kept that Medal of Honor close to his side ever since President Lyndon B. Johnson presented it to him in 1968.
But Friday morning, Indianapolis Police Department officers said, Davis discovered the medal had been stolen during a break-in of the trunk of his car in the parking lot of Wingate Inn Airport, 5797 Rockville Road.There's nothing lower than stealing a medal from a veteran. But this is the highest medal, so it's the lowest crime.
