That in this world there are dangers so lethal that survival is improbable, yet there are those who would risk their own life so that others may live. To have delayed awarding Chief Master Sergeant Etchberger the Medal of Honor for so long is a tragedy in and of itself.<br /><br />His actions on the field of battle deserve the recognition of his nation and his family deserves to know the truth that he died saving the lives of his fellow servicemen. He is a hero. All too often we term such actions uncommon valor. The truth is that it is a matter of uncommon love. A love of nation, a love of comrades, and a love of freedom.William Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481469340558843146noreply@blogger.com
