KY Marine / Medal of Honor

[MrSplitshot]

So, how cool is it that a Kentucky Marine is getting the Medal of Honor after saving 36 lives in Afghanistan during an insurgent ambush? WELL DONE MARINE! That's something to swell up with pride over, even though I'm sure the young man feels like he was just doing his job. Awesome.

And the fella even gets his own private beer summit with Barry-O...

Pretty awesome, and like you said probably just humble and was just doing his job. That is an incredible testament to him!

Totally awesome in every way. We have got some young men and women serving this country that are off the charts. Like you said Brian it makes you so proud to support such fine men and women......

Heard on the news the Marine was upset he couldn't save some who did die in the ambush. He didn't feel like a hero, said it was going to be hard to get an award for the worst day of his life.

This man is an example of what's right in America. He is my hero whether he feels like it or not.

Sounds like they grow up tough down in Greensburg! Radio said they are doing a parade down there in his honor.

It's the Cow Days parade, he is the co grand marshall....His ceremony was on the radio today at 2:30 as Greensburg is only 10 minutes away

Obama said that when he called Dakota, he was working at his construction job and wouldn't stop to take the call, so Obama had to call back on his lunch break....He had 120 family and friends with him in DC
