We've got one for you: Silent Running: Semper Fi, 1st Sergeant. First Sergeant Brad Kasal, of Afton, Iowa. (He's the Marine in the middle.)
1stSgt Kasal sacrificed his own safety to save a room full of fellow Marines. He ended up taking several AK rounds in the leg. Most of his lower leg was blown away but you can't tell it from this pic. He took rounds in the back which his armor saved him from. He took one round through his butt which passed through both cheeks leaving 4 holes in him. And he also took the brunt of a grenade blast. He jumped on top of a younger Marine to cover him from the fire. He killed the enemy who did most of the damage to him and his men, and despite a massive loss of blood he never stopped fighting.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how we like to grow 'em in the States! An honest-to-God real man of courage and honor, steadfast and selfless. I pray that he has a swift and full recovery from his wounds.
And, IMHO, yes!, he more than deserves a Medal of Honor!
(Thanks, Silent Running, for posting this!)
