...Kasal had lost approximately 60 percent of his blood from more than 40 shrapnel wounds and seven 7.62 mm AK-47 gunshots.One can only conclude that God had a plan for this amazing man, which did not include him dying that day. A real hero indeed. Thanks for posting this.

Everytime I read of Americans like Kasal and remember the men I served with, I wonder how our country can get it so wrong when it comes to politics.

Kasal feels he did what any good Marine would’ve done.

They’re Marines, and I’m a Marine. We look out for each other.” And they look out for us. God bless them all.

From a town...small town in Iowa
Came a hero whom you ought to know
Brad Kasal would protect his men
To the end he was prepared to go
Fallujah had been a living hell as they fought for their lives
Then, oh my God, he saw that grenade
He used his own body to protect his wounded comrade
He wouldn't let him die
Sacred words for you, Brad...Semper Fi
We are blessed to have such fine young men
Men who sacrifice so willingly
They stand up proud...it's their duty, they say
Heroes for all our kids to see
He now lives in constant pain but says there's no regrets
He says that he would do it all again
This is the measure of a real Marine
He wouldn't let him die
Sacred words for you, Brad...Semper Fi
Sacred words for you, sacred words for you, sacred words for you
Sacred words...Semper Fi
Sacred words for you, sacred words for you, sacred words for you
Sacred words...Semper Fi
Sacred words for you, sacred words for you, sacred words for you
Sacred words...Semper Fi

Upon entry of the house, Kasal found himself face-to-face with an insurgent who he neutralized at extreme close range. This article is full of happy endings!

Perhaps a Marine here can fill me in. In the Army, you don't re-enlist after an enlistment that carries you past 10 years of service. Is it the same in the Marines? If so, this is a young SGM.

I wish there were something I could do to support the Marines. I'm just a fat slow guy so I can't join and I'm a poor college student so I can't donate any money to any "Marine" causes. :-(
