Amazing young man/men...Another Medal Of Honor recipient!
The voice from a distant mountain ambush in Afghanistan left U.S. commanders glued to their radios in 2007. A 20-year-old paratrooper, dead and dying Americans all around him, was telling the world what was happening and calling for help.
Kyle White, who the White House announced Tuesday will receive the Medal of Honor in a ceremony May 13, was a key lifeline for those in his patrol still alive, scattered along a cliffside trail snaking along a river near the border with Pakistan.

I would prefer it if our young men wouldn't "win" anymore of these awards for a few generations....

I'm with you on this one SA. I attended the funeral service for Marine SGT. Phil Bocks referenced in this story. He was the son of one of my co-workers.

I read this and had to walk away for the tears. It never ceases to amaze me how this country can still produce young men and women who answer the "call", and serve with such selfless devotion and courage. It makes me proud of our Armed Forces.
