Anyone offering bets on whether this story ever sees the light of day in the MSM?

This young man is my hero, the presence of mind even though his body is wounded and broken.
Humbling and inspiring, prayers for him.

At this point, Rumsfeld looked choked up, and I had a lump in my throat and and watery eyes.I saw two separate film clips of Sec Rumsfeld speaking to the troops in which he choked up. I already loved this man, but to see him overcome with emotion in the presence of our troops just heightens my respect and admiration for our SecDef.

WE get them from around the world. They or their ancestors came to America to become Americans and share in the American dream.
A dream worth fighting for.
One hell of a fine American soldier, GOD bless them all.

Yesterday morning, FoxNews was showing the new videos of Rumsfeld as they were coming in from Iraq.
In one, SecDef Rumsfeld was presenting The Purple Heart to a wounded soldier in bed. It was a very touching video.
