Tonymac Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Finally someone has been recognized for their bravery in the face of death. Someone us Soldiers can look to and at when we are in the belly of the beast. I read the stories, I see the tombstones but I can put a living face to the word Hero. I have shaken the hands of many Medal of Honor recipients but none coming out of the battles of my generation. Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta and the men who do everything they could to save their comrades life day after day. There were too many times that I looked down the barrel of an enemy Soldiers weapon while I return fire not to wholeheartedly appreciate what goes on day in and day out in the war zone. Literally half of my time in the military was spent fighting wars. Wanting nothing but to come home alive... along with all of my comrades in arms... but I will serve until... I am truly proud to be an American Soldier! http://www.cbsnews.c...Main;contentAux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That was on our local TV news. I think its fantastic. It is an honor to be an American and to have people like yourself and Salvatore. There will never be a way that I can repay you for all you have done for me and our country but to say "Thank You"!! Be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osok Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Saw the 60 minutes piece the other night. Best part of all of it is they guys mentality of "just doing what every other guy in my unit would do". Love it!! Thanks all you brave mofos out there putting it on the line for the rest of us. It's always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
