Didn't he get his medal of Honor?

This guy is what I would describe as a hero, he gave himself up for his Battles.

Well its just what a soldier is taught throughout his time in the service...selfless sacrifice. To me he is a hero and im just another Soldier.

Those who chose the life of a soldier are all heros to me. There is a sacrifice involved in giving your life in service also. I am thankful that not all service has to end in death. I don't think that makes it less valuable. flowerforyou
