Well,

if you've known me for very long , like in primary school,

you would have known im a war historian,

which simply means i study about war and all.

And i've just recently read up on 2 more sad Tragedies.

So, this post is to honour American Heroes.

Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith

What did he do?

To evacuate the wounded, SFC Smith single handedly fought off 120 Iraqis while his squadmates evacuate the Wounded and get back a guard tower which was in Iraqi's Control. After those were accomplished, the remaining men Found SFC Smith dead, peppered with over 15 bullets. He is a true American Hero, and he has been awareded with the Medal Of Honour, a prestigious honour given by the President.

Secondly.

Seal Team 10;

Michael Murphy

Daniel Dietz

Matthew Alexson

Marcus Luttrell

Seal team 10 were supposed to be on a recon mission called Operation Red Wing. They were ambushed by over 150 taliban soldiers, making the odds 150 - 4. Out of the 4 seals, Only one man survived, Marcus Luttrell. Lt. Murphy was awarded the Medal Of Honour as he risked it all to call in reinforcements, sacrificing himself to try to save the rest. To Honour his fallen brothers, Marcus Luttrell wrote a book called Lone Survivor, Solely to remember his brothers.

Lastly:

Gary Gordon and Randy Shugart

Why?

In the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, After the second Black Hawk was shot down, ( yes it is also in the movie Black Hawk Down ), The two Delta Snipers volunteered to go in and rescue the wounded, when they know that hundreds of Somalis were pouring into the fallen Helicopter. The Pair went in and rescued Mike Durant, who was later held captive as a prisoner. He was realeased a few days later. Gary and Randy gave up their lives protecting Mike, and were true Heroes.

ALL of them are heroes.
