Navy SEAL to be posthumously awarded Medal of Honor | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Headline | National News

 

We have had arguments here on the war, but we can all agree that our military is the best in the world and this brave young man is is an example.

 

DAMMIT!

I was hoping he was alive.....

But I suppose if they can talk about it, it's too late and he was discovered....

F***!!!!

99% of what SEALS do will never be known.

199% of what could have been really bad that might have happened - they prevented.

But their stories can never be told.

"I cry, because of a man who cared nothing except for his brothers
He died to save his team, not holding back a damned thing
He knew the price, paid it, and trusted his own
To exact that from the enemy in exchange, AND THEN SOME!!!"

 

I found a website a long time ago that described (i think) every medal of honor given and why. I spent hours reading on that site.

 

Got bored at work one night and found the same site.. it's hard to leave the site once you start reading the stories:

It gets deep. England has Knights, we don't. But they are similar.

Did you know that almost every barracks building on a NAVAL base is dedicated to the memory of one hero or another? When you set foot on the quarterdeck of one of them, you can read their story.
