FORT STEWART, Ga., Feb. 20, 2004 – Sometimes the biggest heroes are the quietest people, and Spc. Matthew Moss is that kind of hero.

The 22-year-old medic doesn't talk loudly about his experiences in Iraq, but when the soft-spoken Florida National Guard soldier tells his story, it's in a steady and matter-of-fact tone.

Moss downplays the role he played on a sunny November morning in Baghdad, when an improvised explosive device hit his convoy and he ignored his own wounds and tried to save the life of a fellow soldier.

Sometimes the biggest heroes are the quietest people, and Spc. Matthew Moss is that kind of hero.

I've found that this is the case almost all the time. Real heroes don't need to "Kerry on" about being a hero.

Hoo Rah! Spc. Matthew Moss
