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.

Returning th
grey wolves t l
the wildernes*
Big
BEAVERHEAD. N.M. (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." Debbie Miller says.
When you see them, they take
off. They re scared of you.
These wolves, they’re not
scared. And that’s what scares
me.”
