Absolutely awesome story. Thanks for the post Klingon. I had heard snippets of this but not the whole thing. Bless this young man. He's truly a hero in my book.

This is what movies are made of.

A true hero and patriot.

This is what the MSM should be about, instead of the doom and gloom, but that would benefit Bush now, wouldn't it?

The MSM can FOAD and take Kerry and his ilk with them.

WOW, he makes Rambo look like a p*ssy. He proved the best defense is a good offense.

Thanks for sharing a story of a brave soldier.

Prior to the election frenzy, some of the local tv channels here in Southern California carried some very touching stories. Here are a few I remember:

I recall returning soldiers, including Shoshannah Johnson, being honored in local churches.

An immigrant who had been raised by adoptive parents was honored at his funeral and his parents and some friends said that he had served with pride and went willingly to give something back to the country that allowed him to be freer than where he came from.

Parents of a fallen soldier who died disabling land mines said they were proud of their son and believe he gave his life to save others.

A family that had lost their son in Iraq, invited other soldiers who were far from home to join them in holiday celebrations and barbeques.

Thousands of families of deployed soldiers received help from volunteers offering everything from child care to basic car and home repairs.

Not too long ago, local kcal9tv showed the flag-draped casket of a fallen soldier. He was a Fillipino immigrant from a family of five who had left his second year of college to serve. His family was gathered in prayer at the showing and his sister, who was dressed in her "navy whites" was shown at his casket saluting her fallen brother.

Uncommon valor a common virtue

Race, thought you'd be interested in a story about what someone in the crinton administration called extremists.

Great story!

Do you have an original link or did you write that yourself? I'd like to print the story out and pass it around at work. Thanks.
