Another example of the humilty of these great warriors. The obit states hardly anyone knew of his service much less being a MOH winner. I wonder what the libs would say if someone like him stood up and called Murtha a coward.

My high school history teacher fought at the Frozen Chosen, very likely in this man's unit. He woke up one morning with several score dead Chinese in front of his machine gun position--one he had manned alone all night. He was 17.

He told us that story the first day of class and concluded with the following immortal warning: "History is not what happens in old books; history is what is going to happen to you."
