At a time when the word "hero" is tossed around like popcorn, this young man is the correct definition of a hero.

No greater act than to lay down ones life for a friend. This is the second time in a week that has happened. Like the shooting at the Poway synagogue. It’s an example that good ALWAYS overcomes evil.

He was a hero no doubt but full military honors? I had to click the link to see that he was in ROTC.

That explains it.

Officials in North Carolina say it bought police time to get to him and stop the shooting which saved countless lives.

when seconds count...Just think if there had been a classmate with a concealed carry license and a pistol in class.

This guy’s response is the ONLY defense in “gun free zones”. Maybe it should be taught in every high school and college. If enough people jump the maniac lives will be saved.

Exactly so. In an age of participation trophies and ersatz heroes, this one clamors for a name above hero. Or a return to the original definition. Too bad superhero is already taken.

This is how Democrats plan to win future elections: kill white people and restore the right to vote to murderers.

My mom gets plants & flowers from a place called B B Barnes(I go w/ her when I visit in the summer). He worked there during summers & she said they were interviewed & they had great memories. He would throw big bags of dirt over his shoulder, was a hard worker & everyone just loved him.

You’re correct, he is a true hero.
