What a great article and really shows a true American Hero. His speech at this event was just inspiring and really gives you a look into the type of man and Marine he is at heart. Makes me reflect on the times I was promoted or received some awards and let my Soldiers know it was because of their efforts and hard work that I could be a good leader. Salutes

'It's your medal': Read Kyle Carpenter's inspiring speech to Marjah vets

On Feb. 13, 2010, Marines assaulted the Taliban hub of Marjah in Southern Afghanistan in what coalition leaders would title Operation Moshtarak, from an Afghan Dari word meaning "together," or "joint."

That is a great speech, CSM Michael Lynch. Thanks for sharing it with us. Another true hero. It strikes me - based solely on the transcription of that speech - that he's a man of conviction and humility. For me, there's a difference when the hero is somewhat humble. That clearly appears to be the case here. Again, thanks for pointing us to this article.
