Ronnie, if it has tom brokaw, dan rather, peter jennings, or any other member of the main stream media on it, one should automatically know, with the same certainty that the sun rises in the east, that it is a lie.

I saw a young lady reading We were Soldiers Once and Young yesterday at an airport. I walked up and asked her if she knew whose photo was on the cover. She had no idea. I then told her the story of an American hero.

She, and all those sitting around her were amazed.

Our hearts so stout have got no fame
For soon 'tis known from whence we came
Where'er we go they fear the name
Of Garryowen in glory.

Ping for our heroes, for Rick, his widow and all who served....we will not forget.

God Bless him for sure but what an terrible waste of a good and productive life. I'm so sorry he went back in again. Just so sorry. Lynn

I misunderstood your meaning at first. I'm sorry too, I hope all Americans comprehend what we lost that day.

I agree about the loss (I can't say waste), but RR teaches us about love of country, love of your fellow Americans, and especially those fellow Americans at your side, those placed in your charge. We can learn from his actions. He saved thousands, and died to save the last dozen.

He could have left those final few, and been a hero. He didn't, and was a hero. I'll leave that distinction to forces beyond my comprehension. His story is one of great bravery.
