With all the depressing news coming out of Iraq, it's encouraging to see that there are still heros in this world. In an article on bob lonsberry dot com (via Fark) we hear about a Marine 1st Lieutenant whose platoon fell under ambush by Iraqi forces. Through his quick thinking and courage he saved the lives of many of those in his fello Marines.
Of course, this is the type of story the networks don't want to cover -- all we hear about anymore are the bad apples. They would have us think that all our soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen an Iraq are cut from the same cloth. We need to recognize and focus more on brave souls such as this Marine. Trust me, there are many more American heros where this one came from.
