Somehow we have gotten away of throwing a grenade into a room before clearing the room. It might save some civilian casualties but it causes more US casualties...

This man is a hero and his bravery and sacrifice should never be forgotten.

Somebody should have told Kevin Sites what the Marines are doing for him while he is busy making his lagacy by being a rat.

Thank God for Mariones like Sgt Peralta and his platoon and damn Sites.

Is this group from your camp?

Another story of Marine courage and selflessness. Where do such heroes come from? God bless him and all in harm's way.

SGT Peralta is survived by a brother Ricardo, 14 and a sister Karen, 13

It's times like this I wish I had all the money in the world...

God Bless those that give their all for their brothers!

I pray for the chance to meet men like Sgt. Peralta in heaven.

I know that God will Bless Sgt. Rafael Peralta.

Let's hope that he gets a well deserved break, before reporting for duty to guard Heavens streets.

Now, let's all go buy some toys for "Toys For Tots" and help brighten someones Christmas! (I'm off to the store as soon as I regain composure)

"You’re still here, don’t forget that. Tell your kids, your grandkids, what Sgt. Peralta did for you and the other Marines today." As a combat correspondent, this is not only my job, but an honor.

If all reporters would report this unbiased level of reporting, the enemy would never again dare go against us. They would have no "eyes" on our own marines... eyes provided by our own American media. Treason.

This man's family deserves to receive his Medal of Honor. I hope they get it. What a hero - we just have no idea the mettle of our military until it's tested do we?

If this doesn't rise to the level of the Congressional Medal of Honor, then I'll not see one in my lifetime.

When I read the other thread to my wife telling of this brave Marine's heroics, I had to stop a few times because of my cracking voice.
God Bless his soul.
