Suspended NBC newsman Brian Williams has resigned from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation’s board of directors, the organization announced Thursday.
Last week, NBC News suspended the “Nightly News” anchor for six months after he admitted telling a bogus story about having been shot down in a helicopter while reporting from Iraq in 2003.
Williams had been a board member since 2005, the organization said.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is awarded to service members who “distinguish themselves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty,” according to the Department of Defense.

Brian, for future reference, begin all war stories with “No shit, so there I was…”
Why does the Congressional Medal of Honor need a Foundation or a Board? One would think there is sufficient staff in Congress to keep up with everything. Sounds like a sinecure.
Really. I’d be curious to know more about how these are awarded and who decides.
I wonder how his face got so crooked. Almost has a wave effect goin on there
What weird concerns. He’s smiling in one of those one-side-higher smirky looking smiles. Don’t you have one of those in your face? If no, then I’d think you’re really in the minority. Anyone can go in front of a mirror and see if they can come up with one of these. You should try!
WTF is “a wave effect” and how does someone “almost” have one?
