Living Hero

I enjoy reading the stories of people who do remarkable things to protect others. Many of these seem to come from the experience of men and women in the armed forces. A soldier is being considered for the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan, and if awarded, it will be the first such Medal given to a living recipient since the Vietnam War.

You can read a little about it here.
