Amazing... Thanks @rivrrts429 for sharing. Now I need to go and get some stuff out of my eyes so they stop leaking.

Thanks for sharing, amazing story. Uncommon Valor isn't so uncommon in our Military members, I am so proud of them all.

That's what is called...The Right Stuff. This kid has it in spades.

Awesome. Definitely a special person as I can't truly say I would have done the same if that situation would have happened during combat. I know I like to say I would jump on a grenade to save fellow soldiers/protect my platoon, just can't say I would. But I know I am definitely in the majority and that's why there are so few Medals of Honor given out dead or alive. Great man there and he deserves that medal for sure.

God Bless this great nation and the men who swore an oath to defend her, and our freedoms. May God help those who see fit to disparage her and desecrate our flag.
