    Absolutely.
    It could have easily been you or me Tony, as I know we both would have done the same thing.

    Talk about half mast, can't think of many that would deserve it more.

    Thoughts and prayers from my wife and I. I teared up if I am being honest. "there is no greater love than he who lays down his life for his friends (or family)"

    Your probably right Chris, but one can hope in such a situation, any parent would do the same to save their child.

    Adorable kids.
    Anyone would have done the same thing no doubt.
    We should honor guys like this that spend their whole life defending our freedoms.
    Which we do on this forum, and it is much appreciated as far as I am concerned.

    Can't say much more than this. Story was very tragic...

    Reminds me of a tragic story here where a man (Non-military) went to work the night shift and his whole family perished in a house fire while he was at work. His wife, mother and children. Can't imagine how he will get by. So I sympathize for the family and friends in this situation... I would rather die trying.

    The man is a hero. Sorry pepster...
