Ha ha ha ha ha .... Straight up, Gangsta’!!!!
This country still have plenty of men and women that will do the same thing, thank the Lord.
But, when you read about some of the things that those WW2 guys did, it’s almost unbelievable.
I will put to you, are you on Facebook? If so, check out the, OAF page. OAF stands for Operator As F*ck. It is hysterical. A few times a month, the admins will post a story about the heroics of a US service member and how they were awarded their various medals. They do it with a language that is better spoken in a locker room than at a podium during an awards ceremony, but they are hysterical.
If not on FB, find someone that is and take a look. I’d be curious to know if they did one on the soldier that you’re talking about. If they did, I’m positive they put a very comical spin on what he did. I promise you will enjoy.
Thanks! I think I’ve seen a website that is similar - or it may be the same one.
There were numerous MOH award accounts from Iraq and Afghanistan that prove that this generation of Americans is not devoid of bravery, skill, and sacrifice.
Three of the four MOH recipients during the Iraq war jumped on grenades. Paul Smith organized a hasty defence against a bunch of Iraqis, while tossing grenades, firing anti-tank weapons and his personal weapons. As the others made their retreat, he died atop a damaged vehicle as he ran through three boxes of .50 caliber ammo. He killed an estimated 20 to 50 enemy, and saved almost 100 Americans.
