He is a warrior.

I suspect a CMH will follow after additional review.

Ya know, Mr. Jwalsh07, I have been recently hired on a part time basis as a pastor for kids and I must confess that upon reading this story my old shop-rat self expressed itself with the word holy followed by a word that I pray the Lord keep me from using in front of the kiddies or anyone else.
Lord God, bless this jarhead and bless this country. Thank you Lord for all your blessings.

God bless you and your kids Pastor and let us never forget that Christian and soldier are not mutually exclusive.

The senior pastor here is a Gulf War I veteran (chaplain) and one of the lay ministers is a Vietnam Vet. We won't forget. Thanks for the blessing.

Brilliant! This man should be front page news. His name should be a household word. An honest press would seek out stories like this one (not a difficult task), and make sure they're widely told.

We don't have an honest press.

The media insists in labeling all of our troops because of the actions of a few. ---It's fair then to assume that ALL JOURNALISTS are just like Jayson Blair, Micheal Moore and Peter Arnett.

Have you seen this story?

Over into the battlement the humvee went and out the door Brian Chontosh bailed, carrying an M16 and a Beretta and 228 years of Marine Corps pride.

What a great description.

"... Sometimes I wonder whether I'm worthy to be protected by men such as this Marine."

Of course you are... he's your employee.

The American military has not been dishonored. The guilty have only dishonored themselves.

Good man. Good Marine.

This one needs a bump. In fact, it needs many.

It's a shame and disgrace that this thread died after less than 60 posts, but the others go on for pages. That's why I've pinged some of you who have posted to this thread and others.

I have a suggestion: Each time one of us posts to one of the abuse threads, we should bump this thread.
