MoH for SF SSG

A staff sergeant of the 3rd Special Forces Group is being awarded the Medal of Honor. Posthumously. He was killed in action in January of 2008.

This is only the 3rd MoH awarded in this current war. Some feel that is not enough, far too few.

Glad to see this is being awarded. Sorry to see this young SSG had to die to get it. Part of me feels a need to be over there. Part of me says "To hell with that. Been there, done that."

Oh well. Not my war. Sitting this one out. But I will be back in it, eventually. I always am, sooner or later.
