Most of us have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the individuals who've earned this award. I admire these individuals, not just because of their heroic actions, but because they shoulder burdens that would be enough to break most people, yet they still carry on with life, and bring definition to the word 'resilience'.

Congratulations to the brave Soldier. Very deserving. Thank you for your service.

Amazing service. I think that describing the actions of these heroes, their conditions and actions should be more publicized so that people understand what they actually do
For example, when there is danger, people naturally respond by avoiding it or fighting
These heroes don't have the choice of going the opposite direction. They have one choice because they serve their country and fellow service members and leadership. They are trained and are courageous and brave. Thank you.
