NATION THE BATTALION Medal of Honor recipients gather on 9/11 hursday, Sepiembf,- SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — The meeting was scheduled more than two years ago, but the date — Sept. 11 — could not have been more appropriate or poignant for a gathering of the nation’s Medal of Honor recipients. Speakers and veterans at the annual convention of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society praised rescue workers on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, saying they were even prouder to be American. “Everybody’s got a hero inside them,” said Vietnam vet eran and medal recipient John Baker, 57, of Columbia, S.C. “It’s just a matter of where they are at the time.” Nearly 90 Medal of Honor recipients, from wars dating back to World War II, attended the convention at Barksdale Air Force Base. “This year we feel a little taller, a little prouder. We know we stood up after 9-1 1 and by standing up we were saying, ’America’s alive and well,” said Nick Bacon, 56, of Little Rock, Ark. Bacon earned his medal in Vietnam — in the battle of Tam Ky — by driving, alone and in the face of machine gun fire, behind enemy lines, tak ing out enemy positions with grenades, signaling other posi tions to American gunners behind him, and pulling wounded Americans from the battlefield.

(AP) — Mike Miller watched from a rocky bluff as the female went down. The dart pierced her hip, its sedative seeping into her bloodstream. A half-hour later, after a pursuit along the canyon wall, he saw the gunner clip the male in the neck. The cow boy felt a rush of elation. He had ridden out to Railroad Canyon in the thick of the Gila National Forest to watch as the feds swept down in their helicopter and scooped up the Pipestem wolves, named for a mountain near the spot where they were first set free. He had come to celebrate one small victory in his and his neighbors’ war against **el lobo” — sworn enemy of the cattle rancher for as long as there have been ranches in the West. He had. unabashedly, come to gloat. When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first pro posed reintroducing the Mexican gray wolf to the wilder- ness that connects Arizona and New Mexico, ranchers warned: Wolves and people cannot coexist, and wolves and cattle are a lethal combination. This pair alone. Miller believes, killed 19 calves on the outfit he manages, although fed eral officials confirmed only two deaths. Some calves were too far gone to say for certain whether a wolf was the culprit. 1 hey had come within a stone's throw of his home and his kids, terrifying his wife. “I can handle the bears and the mountain lions and the bob cats."
