Brian Williams, anchor for NBC News, is on the Board of Directors for the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Last year, he was scheduled to be the Master of Ceremonies for a dinner that was attended by, and honoring, over 100 living recipients of the MoH.
Williams announced at the beginning of the dinner that he needed to leave because he had pressing business in New York.
What was the pressing business? A family engagement, a big news story, an emergency?
Williams had a ONE MINUTE CAMEO on "Saturday Night Live"!!
Is this the example he should set for others? Is this any way to treat the 100+ men in attendance that had risked their lives for the love of their country?
Can anyone provide a valid excuse why an appearance on SNL is more important than the Medal of Honor??
