One is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for "heroism or extraordinary

Dare say there wouldn't be a court in the United States that would find him
guilty of punching the guy.

Great info on Buzz & his career there Gary.
23 years old, I wonder what the confrontational nuisance guy was doing at 23 yrs old, online gaming in his bedroom of his parent's house perhaps?
I did know Buzz came through the ranks of the US Air Force.
Buzz put his life on the line numerous times fighting for his country even before the Apollo program, then has to continually get accosted by these unfortunate delusional people.
