Here's another hero story. I love these hero stories. There's so much bad news, this news brings us back to the reality of war.
SGT.1st Class Brendan O’Connor crawled through a 14-inch ditch under heavy fire to save his injured men.
During a battle in Afghanistan that would last more than 17 hours, Sgt. 1st Class Brendan O’Connor crawled through a ditch to reach two wounded men, as machine gun fire from Taliban fighters cut the grass all around him. Taking control after the team leader was killed, O’Connor coordinated the safe extraction of his team by the use of infrared light beams from friendly aircraft and night-vision goggles.

Sounds like a Medal of Honor act of Valor and Bravery above and beyond the call of duty!

An excellent bit of All-American badassery right there! Damn shame about the two that didn't make it. Hope they littered the landscape with those rotten bastards on the way out.

Mine too, CPT (Join to see). I'm so proud of all the guys and girls fighting in Afghanistan. They don't get any credit for the job they do, except from us.
