Lt. Col. John Lock, US Army (ret.) spent 18 years advancing the upgrade of Col. Ralph Puckett, U.S. Army (ret.) to receive the Medal of Honor. John Lock was the MOH Sherpa for Puckett. Every MOH recipient has to have a sherpa, someone who carries the load and walks ahead on the trail. Lock talks about his military career, Army Ranger Lt. Puckett's exploits in freezing cold Korea in November 1950, the 18-year journey to upgrade Puckett's DSC to MOH, and the White House ceremony in May 2021 when President Biden awarded the Medal of Honor. John has a lengthy and unique talk with host Jim Fausone.
