Thats a thought and a feeling many American troops have felt...its a sickening feeling in your gut...it takes courage to fight past it....

I read his story in USA today. Glad to see him getting the honor he deserves. I understand he is in private business now. DO you recall what the driver of his Humvee got-hopefully at least a Cross or a Silver star. both showed extraordinary bravery. The Marine apparently whacked 8 of the jihadists as well even though he couldn't save the team

I dont know about the driver...this was posted in the VFW...where I first saw it...then in USA today......
 
Sounds like a well deserved warrior.
 
The linked article states that the driver got the Navy Cross. Brave men.
