What a great story, CSM Michael J. Uhlig. What strikes me most about Albert Durago is his humility. I think that's probably a common trait among real heroes. Not egocentric at all; in it for the common good, for the country. Thanks for sharing that excellent story. We should never forget the lessons of WWII (and that battle), now 70 years ago.

CSM Michael J. Uhlig The thing that strikes me the most is "somebody needed to do it and I was there". Pretty much sums up the story of the American Military.

Very nice read. Thanks for the post!
