I didn't know about this guy returning his MOH in protest of the Vietnam War.
Last week, former Army Chaplain Charlie Liteky passed away at the age of 85, leaving behind a controversial legacy of anti-war activism, despite being a war hero himself.
Charlie Liteky, a former Army chaplain and the only known recipient of the Medal of Honor to have ever returned the medal in a demonstration of political dissent, died on Jan. 20 in San Francisco several weeks after suffering a stroke. He was 85.
