Thanks Dixie and all of the FReepers and Lurkers out there for your undying support. Many time I have dedicated my successes to my late father. This is no exception he was a hero long before I got to this earth. A half century ago in a place called Chat-Kol what I did on the ship during OEF was just a man following in his father's footsteps. Not only was he a war hero he was my hero as well. So with tears in my eyes I dedicate my service to SFC James T Clark and here is what he did over 50 years ago.

Here is an example of what a real war hero does: The Silver Star Medal is awarded to: Sergent James Clark, Infantry Company F, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. During the early morning hours of 15 June 1953, in the vicinity of Chat-Kol Korea, Company F of which Sgt. Clark was a squad leader had the mission of counterattacking and regaining control of positions overrun by the enemy in earlier action. The enemy, detecting the position of his squad, kayoed in heavy artillery and mortar fire,inflicting friendly casualties and forcing the squad to temporarily seek cover. Sgt. Clark with complete disregard for his personal safety search the area for wounded. Upon finding one man seriously wounded, he quickly administered first aid and carried him to safety. He then returned to the impact area and formed a defensive perimeter from which he directed intense and accurate fire forcing the enemy to retreat with numerous casualties. Sgt Clark's outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.

(Alternate verses)

Creator, Father, who first breathed
In us the life that we received,
By power of thy breath restore
The ill, and men with wounds of war.
Bless those who give their healing care,
That life and laughter all may share.
