A Navy Cross

This is the URL of a Website that tells the unpublicized story of a marine who won the Navy Cross, the second highest medal in the armed forces. I have long had an interest in studying medal citations for the Medal of Honor. This sounds an awful lot like one of those stories to me. I don't know whether he will receive the Medal of Honor, or if he has even been nominated. Regardless, this is the tale of an American Hero.

If you wish, please pass this on to people you think might care. There has not been much press coverage at all. His hometown newspaper only gave him two paragraphs.

Wow. That guy is awesome!
He's the type of guy I'd definitely want on my side fighting against zombies. :)

No, we never hear about people like this. To take out twenty guys like that under heavy fire while emptying both of your guns, then picking up two from the dead enemies you just killed is just amazing. This guy definitely deserves it, especially because he probably saved his entire platoon.
