Joe Biden awards his first Medal of Honor to Korean War veteran who quipped: ‘Why all the fuss?’ Justin Vallejo © Provided by The Independent Joe Biden was joined by the president of South Korea to award the new administration’s first Medal of Honor to a veteran of the Korean War. Colonel Ralph Puckett Jr received the country’s highest military honour, but the president said the 94-year-old veteran asked, “why all the fuss” when invited to the White House ceremony on Friday, adding “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,” Mr Biden said. “Colonel Puckett, after 70 years, rather than mail it to you I would have walked it to you. Your lifetime of service to our nation deserves a little bit of fuss.”
