FTA: "I'm the one getting recognized today, but everybody knows, I hope, the story that went down that day it wasn't one person, it wasn't two, it wasn't three, it was everybody," Torrisi said during the award ceremony. "Everybody doing their part. We have a lot of guys around today walking, talking, and breathing because of that. I was just part of the well-oiled machine that we were."

"You can call me Corpsman, or you can call me Corpseman" but whatever you call me I'll be there for my Brothers!"

God Bless him and the rest of our well oiled Warriors!!

Thank God for these guys. My son has been close friends with a number of the Corpsmen over the years. In 07 one of his best friends, Corpsman Luke Milam was killed on their deployment.

My son is good friends with a number of them. In 07 while they were in Helmand he lost one of his best friends Corpsman Luke Milam.

Sorry to hear about the loss of a good man.

You must be a very proud dad.
