BRAVE & FEARLESS MARINE Saves a BROTHER WARRIOR
It's what they do, isn't it. It just overwhelms me.
It's heartwarming.
Now that's a BRAVE, UNSELFISH soldier.
He's a whole lot smarter and more clear-sighted than a lot of politicians. God bless our courageous military.
Can't imagine any of our illustious senators or congressmen/women doing such a feat. They'd cut and run.
Saluting U.S. Marine 1st Lt. Rick Posselt and Cpl. Michael Estrella.
While we're checking what to watch on tv and what snack to eat, or we're shopping at the mall, these brave men are dying for us. God Bless them. I'm always, always praying for their protection.
I heard on the news, Right now Israel IDF is moving into Gaza!! Pray for Israel..3,000 troops on the move.
Another day, another hero, another Marine.
if only they could carry the Ark of the Covenant before them.....sigh........
Is that kid a stud or what? His picture should be on a Marine poster and on a Cheerios box.
Our nation's greatest asset is the soldier. So many are never recognized for their valor.
God bless them and keep them, and make His face shine upon them, and give them peace.
The Charlatans in D.C. are mere worms compared to these MEN!
And, deep down inside somewhere, I think those Charlatans know it.
Still, Posselt does not believe he is worthy of recognition, but Capt. Andy Lynch, 31, India Companys commanding officer, says Posselt will be recognized for his brave actions on the battlefield that day.
That says it all....I can think of two charlatans in DC would have had 1650's(Awards recommendation forms) on the skipper's desk so fast it would make ones head spin.
These are the MEN Murtha says committed a massacre and that the Clintons loathe.
The founding Fathers would march with these men in pride, the left loathes them. That's all I need to know
Look at the photo. Imagine that the SHHTF - who do you want backing you up? Any Marine will do, but this LT sure looks Hard Corps to me.
Hoo-ah (and hope the Silver Star shows in his lifetime.)
I am Sgt Sakowski I was ther with Lt Posselt that day he did amazing things. I called him last week 2 days after june 14 and he told me they mailed his bronze star to him he was not made but it made me a little up set to know thats how we honor are people like Lt posselt.
Good job Marines! Your nation is proud of you.
Lt Posselt is the WHY to Corps works well - all the NCOs will be the first that an effective officer will ensure unit cohesion, focus on mission, S&H and morale.
AS far as mailing the medal to him, it beats a unit Commander causally tossing him the medal and saying - good job on the way out the door.
Whatever company lands this individual is inheriting a gold mine.
