I only met and interacted with two of them in person. They were uniqueley alike in modesty. Well, OK, one of them was. The SEAL never made a single mention of it and was not wearing a uniform and 4 of us didn't know who that guy was until after. But amazing stories! :) Mike Thornton, my kind of guy. I'm happy that we finally have another one on watch. It's been a while.
He rescued another MOH awardee, Tom Norris. Another amazing story. He is the SEAL that rescued COL Hambleton (Bat-21), as I recall. Amazing men, both of them. Norris was shot in the head, I think and Thornton went through heavy fire, dragged him out and swam him out to sea where they were picked up. SSGT Giunta went in after his friends and fellow soldiers while under fire. All of these guys are inspirational.
He's the first recepient that looked the same age as me...
ReplyDeleteOUT-FRIGGING-STANDING!
ReplyDeleteI saw this interview when it aired last night and was totally impressed by this soldier. Strong, modest, and well-spoken.
ReplyDeleteNot saurprising, he's the first living one since Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteGreat young Soldier. I hope this opens the door for some other heros that have been overlooked for the Blue Max because they lived to tell the tale.
