This man makes me feel proud to be an American, and a former member of the 1st Cav. God's abundant blessings to Pfc Fernandez.

WOW! His heroic act was almost as brave a Kerry's brave act that won him his silver star.......of course Kerry's had a V for valor on his. What did you say? A V is illegal on a Silver Star? It can't be! Kerry wouldn't embellish his awards.....would he? Are those rice pellets still lodged in his buttocks? (/sarcasm>

Won't be a Pfc for long - expect a quick advancement.

Fernandez ran out of ammunition for his M-249 machine gun. He sprinted to the disabled Humvee and grabbed a damaged M-240 machine gun and dashed back to his position to continue firing. The M-240's protective hand guards had been blown off, and Fernandez said he burned his hands in about 10 minutes of sustained shooting.

DAMN! This is valor. Of course, this pales in comparison to Kerry's bravery in shooting the wounded VC boy in the back, but it's still fairly impressive.

Thank you for the article, FMC! That's one brave young man!

If I recall correctly, the SGT with him who was awarded the Bronze remained behind for long enough in the disabled Humvee under Fernandez's cover fire to damage the radio so that the enemy could not use it against US Forces after they abandoned the Humvee. Imagine having the presence of mind to do that while taking incoming!

Good job, soldier! Kerry isn't qualified to shine your boots.
