Another of thousands of excellent young people who have chosen to serve in our military. Many others have and are still serving our country in other ways. It is so refreshing to hear the stories and the voices of the best of our young people. God bless those who choose the path of righteousness. Thank you all.
This Captain is an American through and through...unlike far too many that happen to have been born here. I wish EVERY member of Congress could see this heroic young man and feel ashamed of themselves.
You are so brave and I cannot thank you enough for keeping us safe as a country, my family, our brothers and sisters, for your greatest acts of service.
Why don't you just get down on your hands and knees for him can you tell me what exactly what he did to deserve the Medal of Honor? I think a lot of people just say s*** on here they have no idea what they're talking about did you even listen to that story? There was one of these stories that where a guy for a whole unit of Japanese by himself and blew up several bunkers and he kept running up and down the hill saving people that were wounded
@@Comedybrand He was tasked to protect two people and when he noticed something suspicious, he ran and attacked the man. When he confirmed the guy had a suicide vest, he did his duty and did not run. You probably don't even know how to fight. lul.
I remember that day in the Kunar province, while manning the radio at the mortar pit Fob Joyce. The radio started going off with medevac calls. Unfortunately we lost 4, but like cpt groberg said it could of been more. 4th Bridage 4ID 3 MOH from the GWOT
How can someone that is born in the US be an immigrant, hes just as American as any other that was born in the US. I know when military members are awarded the Medal of Honor they don't think of themselves as heros but the reality is even to veterans like me they risked their own life to save others and is a hero no matter what they say, he could have just as easily ended up in Arlington just as his buddies and to that I say hes a hero.
Because he wasn't born in the US he was born in France. I believe his step dad (american) took him and his mom to the US when he was around 11 and became american at 18
What an example of what an American means. Unless you are a Native American then we all are immigrants at one time in your own families history. Thank you for your service. God Bless you.
So true in what this soldier says. He wears that medal to not only be proud but to REMEMBER his brothers in arms who sacrificed the ultimate for their country! 👍
You don’t want any president with no checks and balances. We have had combat veteran presidents, namely- our first president. The third one served in the Revolutionary War at 12yrs old and was a British POW...he was also a raving genocidal maniac. His name was Andrew Jackson and he exterminated natives of this country. Our last president to see direct combat with an armed enemy was George H. W. Bush. I’m sure there exists combat veterans out there who could act w/o checks and balances and still do only the exact right thing that represents the majority wishes, but you don’t want to take that risk.
_”peaceful transition of power ....”_ 🤔 That certainly didn’t age well. However, this man embodies the true American spirit in every facets & is wonderfully articulate.
He has had at least 33 surgeries on his left leg and it has been saved, but he does not have complete use of it. I read that he can't really run now, but that he does a lot of Crossfit and remains a very fit guy. The blast damaged more than half of the nerves in the calf muscle on his left leg.
A true Infantry officer that all us grunts pray for and would follow/trust to the gates of hell and back with a butter knife and promises of a 96. Rah and hooah!
JT F Jesus really? We are questioning the valor of a man who charged headlong at a suicide bomber and lost his leg? His boys died but they protected the people they were suppose to protect. am sorry but bringing up politics in this context is a scumbag move and disrespectful as hell to veterans.
@@hgbugalou He said he didn't know he had a suicide bomb and when he did realize it he threw him away and got 4 friends killed instead of laying on top of him and risking death to save them, which has been the previous standard for the Medal of Honor. Maybe if the left wasn't shitting all over our most prestigious awards by lowering the standard to hand them out in favor of identity politics then we wouldn't have to question it.
@@yashjoseph3544 actually they are disrespecting the nation..they can protest off the clock off the TV. I don't even like football and those clown torque me. I am old enough to remember the scum disrespecting Vietnam vets coming home and spitting on them. I remember when the Vietnam War memorial was built that the same scum called it the black gash. A mark on the US. My uncle went away to fight for this country, his countrymen treated him with contempt and shame. These jocks are entertainers. The opinion of entertainers is worth dirt. They get paid to do a job. If I protested at my job, no more job.
@@OKBushcraft How are they being disrespectful? They are just kneeling. Nothing else. It's not like they're being disruptive or hurting anyone. Oh, I know what they are hurting. OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS. If you get so triggered over this act, chances are maybe it's YOU that's the problem. Someone who can't understand that we have freedoms. "They can protest off the clock". The classic rebuttal. Protests need to get attention to work. I'm pretty sure they succeeded. And don't even try conflating this up to Vietnam. They are not comparable. I don't care about what the people who call the memorial a "black gash" said because I know it's their opinions, and they're allowed to say them. I don't see football players spitting on veterans at games. Don't try to use your uncle's story to push your own nationalist rhetoric. You are disrespecting his name. Jobs are different. If you protested at your job and then got fired, then too bad. If the NFL allows it, then I don't care since they have the right to do that. These athletes will be more patriotic then you ever will be because they stood up for something instead of blindly following nationalist propaganda. They're not disrespecting the country. YOU ARE.
