Staff Sgt. Israel del Toro Jr., one of America's finest.
May God bless him and his family.

When I look at him every worry in my life seems so petty and I feel so self absorbed.
May God Bless him and I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

Yes, its a huge image. Look what this man gave up for us. Not quite big enough, IMHO. The image needs to be as large as his courage and bravery.

Murtha isn't worthy to lick dog dung from the sole of this MAN's shoe.

I'd thoroughly enjoy the Good Sgt appearing before a Joint House and Senate panel and tear the lot of the RATS a new excrement hole and then turn around and rip the media a new one as well.

"I'd thoroughly enjoy the Good Sgt appearing before a Joint House and Senate panel and tear the lot of the RATS a new excrement hole and then turn around and rip the media a new one as well."
Y'know, y'know, John F'n Kerry set up his win for a Senate seat by testifying before the Senate in '71 or so. Why couldn't this guy do the same thing - his credibility would obviously be leagues above Kerry's and who is going to question his courage and valor (follows along on Ann Coulter's book, except a mirror image, Pub's, not Dims).
He could run in a predominately Dimocrat state. How could all those "loving" people dis this guy?

Every man looks good in uniform. AND look at the ribbons and medals on that man's breast!
(And his son is so proud, too. Great picture!)

Prayers and thanks SSgt. del Toro.
Though the dems and traitors say they support you, they despise you.
To us, you are the image of a hero whose courage and sacrifice allows us to be free.

There are a couple of things that are truly strange about this award. The first is an award of the Commendation Medal. That award is not made for heroism.
The second is that the sergeant's US lapel brass is that of an officer. Compare the US lapel brass to that of the General. They are the same. If this guy is truly a Staff Sergeant, then the US should be enclosed by a circle.
I hope that no one is offended by these observations, but unless things have changed drastically since I was in the military, then there is something wrong here.

Nope. That changed several years ago. The circle is gone. Note the polished silver name tags on the coat, instead of the old blue. Always trying to keep up with the changes!
Of course, they are looking to completely change the blues again, going back to some WWI or WWII ideas including a belt on the coat and a mandarin collar
