That is amazing. No words can describe it. He truly is a great man.

He truly is a great man

He sure does set the bar ridiculously high for the rest of us doesn't he, Frank?
Even more amazing that our nation has not lost this national treasure and that he was returned safely to his wife and 3 kids.
It would be awful if the rest of us had to endure that experience and in lieu of that maybe what the rest of us can do is conduct ourselves with a little class, integrity and decorum.
That would be nice.

Thanks for reading all and finding that nugget. As much as I appreciate this hero's acts of selflessness and valor that made it even more important to me.
Not just a brother in arms, but a brother too. Probably why he is such a great shot.
