Default Re: First Living Medal of Honor For A Living Afghan War Vet

Just so everyone knows, the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan is considered the deadliest place in Afghansitan per square mile. The Soldiers nickname for the Korengal is "Death Valley." We are still fighting in the Korengal and the documentary RESTREPO is look into its nasty area.

Just finished a book about the valley and outpost Restrepo (think they made a documentary too - havent seen it).

I am in awe of what our fighting men and women do - just so I can sleep safely in my bed at night.

Thank You!

Truly amazing! Sadly not many survive their heroic actions. Awesome that this young man did.
