I love stories such as this one, this soldier IS a hero.

The video starts every time the front page is refreshed.

Or, tell me how. ( IE -7)

I am so happy of the progress of this patriot, this is an improvement.

During Thatcher, guys like these were silenced, until the media created an outcry.

Glad to see now veterans get their due. Will it happen here?

these days. That cheapens the word. The mantle of “hero” should be reserved for people like this soldier or civilians like Capt. Sullenberger… people that do extraordinary things in the face of incomprehensible adversity.

Thanks for drawing attention to this.

Ooh-rah!

mom helping with cancer not the video on Hot Air. But it to is nice story.

I’m reminded of the story of an English teacher at West Point. When she told her friends at Yale that she was going to teach at the US Military Academy, andacquaintance sneerigly remarked “You’ll humanize them.”

The teacher, Professor Elizabeth Samet, remarked upon remembering that insult her learned colleague made to America’s finest, “The cadets and the instructors “had seemed pretty human to me, In fact, they may have done a little in the years since to humanize me.”

Ask the Iraqis, Kuwaitis, Bosnians and Afghans who’ve been liberated by our soldiers. They’ll tell you something about their humanity.

This story reminds us, once again, of the courage and humanity of our fighting men and women. That’s something that so many of our “betters” coming from the Ivy League will never comprehend.

May they live in a life of pantywaisted mediocrity forever.

Thanks,
CBS
