Now here we have a real hero, people. He does not seek fame or medals nor does he believe that he did anything special. I seem to remember a fake hero about a month or so ago that all we heard about was his unearned medals in Vietnam. Jeez, for the life of me, I can't remember his name! Wait! Now I remember. Jim Kearny! Yea, some guy on Hannity said it.

There's no pucker factor worse than an ambush. God Bless these brave Americans.

I had the very distinct pleasure of meeting and drinking with gunny Bodette here at a local watering hole in Albany.
He’s stationed at MCLB Albany, GA.
