Flashermac Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 There was an old gag in Vietnam about a black GI who threw himself on a grenade to save his comrades and got the Medal of Honor posthumously. The black guys would say, "Leroy didn't throw himself on no grenade. He was pushed!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great soldier (or crazy). Best act of courage, give your life to save your fellows..........Guess I would not have had this reflex. Commando 40 though guys. If the UK does not award him the VC then there is something going wrong in the UK. (U can not possibly dserve more the VC than by doing such an act) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly one of Britain's finest. If he is not called forth to stand for honors, I shall personally state my discontent with all in line. Lads such as this are what has allowed Britain to prevail through her worst. Best regards-BST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
