**Salute**, and may God Bless this Soldier. As long as we have men like him, our Republic is safe.
Men like this keep us safe from foreign enemies. It's our job to keep him safe from domestic ones.
Just wow...God Bless him-always.
Amen!
Well said.
I saw the award of this medal yesterday....and I have to say that Obama did a good job with what he had to say about this wonderful young man. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him do a good job.
Salvatore and his band of brothers were there. This guy....and all of them are purely AWESOME. They are a proof of WHY this country is so exceptional!
Remarkable...his actions take my breath away. A real hero & role model....may God reward him abundantly, in this life & in the next.
I watched the video. It was as if Obama - for the first time - realized that someone greater than Barry existed on the planet. He appeared somewhat perplexed and uncomfortable, knowing how very very small he was next to this brave and selfless sergeant. It was kind of weird, as if an angel snatched away the One’s ego and allowed him to understand true honor and character, even if only for a few moments.
Pharaoh’s heart has now had time to resolidify...
Exactly! You stated it very well. Obama actually appeared *genuine* for a few moments. When he departed from script to say, “I like this guy,” I think he honestly meant it. There is no doubt that he was impressed with Sal...an
American with the REAL American spirit.
0 did not salute the MOH winner. That was a breach of protocol.
EVERYONE is required to salute anyone wearing a MOH.
Brought tears to my eyes seen the pic of this hero.
Brought vomit to my throat seeing the Dung Beetle in Chief in the same pic with him.
What a contrast between guts and gutless.
He also should have remained in front of Staff Sergeant Giunta while suspending the medal. What a dorked up presentation. Not to mention his comments afterwards.
Perchance, Ranger! Airborne!
HOOHAH!
Everyone in O administration is timesharing the same brain.
Each person has a couple of cells to call his own. We see how well that’s working.
About protocol I was not aware of the specifics, but Zero’s behavior and body language was off, as if he were left dazed by a sudden truth ray.
We know the usurper is rotten to the core but that’s his normal. Of course, even a usurper should manage to get this right but I think this time any errors weren’t out of disrespect, but rather he was “struck dumb” (okay more than usual) by the presence of the MOH recipient.
The young sergeant had “something” about him that Zero knew he could never obtain or touch, and it shorted out Hussein’s circuits.
Half his blood gone from taking rounds and shrapnel while shielding an injured Marine, probably in shock, still with M9 and KA-bar in hand. He deserved the MOH.
God bless this hero. I watched most of the ceremony, which was hard because I just can’t watch Obama. Obama seemed to handle it well, but I just couldn’t help thinking that he had to feel small knowing he could never measure up to Sgt. Giunta. I know very few could, but the Narcissist had to be hit hard by that realization.
