This week, I am both proud and sad to write about Spc. 5th Class* Clarence E. Sasser, Medal of Honor recipient.
Clarence Sasser (Photo: U.S. Army)Proud, because Sasser attended my alma mater, Texas A&M University.
Sad, because he passed away just over a week ago.
With the passing of Sasser, there are only 61 recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor alive today. Two of them, Black.
Shown below, are the two remaining living Black Medal of Honor recipients.
