Does this act of Courage still linger among many other Americans?

Not only does this act "linger" in my mind, but it is of personal import. While I am much older, I grew up in the same neighborhood as this young man, and a dear friend of mine served in this heroes unit. I have known of this selfless act for quite sometime, and have always felt that he deserves the recognition that our Country has honored him with.

I am a Strong Democrat and Virulently Liberal. I oppose the war in every way possible, but I support the American Troops who are serving their Country.

There are still many many American heroes out there...if there wasn't there would not be a volunteer military. Everyone that joins the military is a hero in my eyes, whether they are in Iraq or here in the States.

Doubtful that 99% of American's even give a "you know what"

God Bless the young man.

what do you mean linger. i dont agree with why he was where he was but he did a selfless act and that takes courage so lets hope it still lingers.

This guy deserves congressional medal of honor

That made me well up. That is so amazing and self less and beautiful.

sadly i dont think they even know or care for the most part. :(

here is to the fallen.

he knew what he was signing up for, I mean, its cool that he serves our country, but I am not going to praise him for jumping on a grenade, it was in he job detail. I don't get praised for turning my reports in on time.

That my friends, is an American Hero .....................
