When he defended his nation; why was the battalion commanding officer of former Sergeant Joseph Luca reluctant to defend reasons the Congressional Medal of Honor not be awarded to this United States Marine as recommended by Lucas' commanding officer? Why was the Congressional Medal of Honor downgraded to a Navy Cross when heroic deeds were witnessed at the risk of life, Lucas', to insure freedom for the country he was serving in the United States Marine Corps, in combat, as a United States Marine, as an Italian Citizen? The Vietnam War and the battle at Quang Ngai Province in the Republic of Vietnam will be told by this author as to the bravery of a United States Marine, former Sergeant Joseph Luca and an effort by the author to determine why did those who voted as members of an "awards board" endorse the Navy Cross (one exception, that of a Silver Star) vice the Congressional Medal of Honor? Those decisions I later wrote as: Denial from Devotion Although documents did provide overwhelming evidence detailing 'Operation DeSoto' as one of the longest battle missions in the Vietnam War with Lucas' participation taking place on March 5, 1967, leaving many questions unanswered why the Congressional Medal of Honor recommended by his commanding officer documented in his report, to wit: Luca's daring and aggressive actions, his uncommon valor , courageous leadership "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty," why weren't the contents of this report respected rather than perhaps ignored or disregarded from a competent Military Commander, the commanding officer at the scene of the "mission" Captain Oliver M. Whipple who witnessed with others the events of the battle, and recommended the Congressional Medal of Honor so deserving to Luca, downgraded to a Navy Cross? During this accounting in Denial from Devotion, Book I, 'the question,' persists as to why....why? Denial from Devotion, 'Book II, 'the quest,' outlines the details and further pursuit of The Congressional Medal of Honor through many efforts of the U. S. Congress.
