There aren't words for that type of loyalty and dedication to his fellow soldiers, only his brothers and sisters in arms can understand what makes a person do something that is sure to bring them harm so their friends can be saved.
Some people would die for their country, their mission or their beliefs but every true American soldier that I have met and served with would do it for the person next to them.
Some may call this fine man crazy or say that his death was a waste, I say his death serves as a reminder to all that American men and women can show courage and love for their brothers in arms.
We are a family when our families fail us, we are our only salvation when we are in need, we are our support system when it is no longer the "in" thing for other Americans to care about us, we are the American fighting force and we only need each other!
Honor this man and all the others like him who face tough challenges every day and prevail.
Remember that people like him brave the heat, bombs and bullets each day while you are enjoying the ball game or that nice cold beer.
It's people like this that make our country great!
Please read about him and pass this on to your friends and family. Read More
