Staff Sgt. William Thomas Payne is one huge fella....

He sure is. He could be his own platoon if he wanted.

"All the training just kicked in" is so true. Father and son are big dudes. God Bless and watch over them.

Put him in a rifle squad and he gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "RE-Enforced Squad."

Weird question? How did the father get over to Iraq to pin the medal on his son? Can you just buy a ticket to Baghad?

SSG Payne - a hero and a great leader too. He's all of that - I sometimes wish a hero like this would run for political office, as a Republican. I am so very tired of wishy-washy Republicans. God Bless SSG Payne and many thanks for his service.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that. Now, I don't feel so giggly saying, "What a hottie!" (Don't worry; yes, I am a female.)
