Dear Sir or Madam,
One of my heroes is John Levitow, who earned the MOH during the Viet Nam war. Some sources have listed him as Jewish, however, his marker-stone bears a cross. One source indicates that he was reared a Christian.
His religion does not matter. I am just a curious history geek. He was a great man who saved lives, no matter his religion. If there is a group of people who stand upon a higher plane, it is combat veterans.
Again, I am just curious about this great man.
Thank you for your assistance.
