Unsung Glory / Unsung Heroes
This, which I found in the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler blog, is the story of an bonified unsung hero. Yes I know I should not link to Blogs but this is tribute I think everyone should read. Mods can [re]move it at their option. God knows your never hear about it in the MSM.... At the time of his actions, SGT McDade was a machine gunner attached to 1st Plt, Bravo Co. 1st Bn. 8th Marines during Al Fajr, the second battle of Fallujah. It was November 11, 2004, one day after the 231st birthday of the Corps. And today, the day after the celebrations, the Hajis were planning to spoil the occasion. A sister company had been bogged down in an ambush, and Bravo Co. rushed up to help their comrades. On the way, they themselves came under fire from Hajis wearing Iraqi Security Forces uniforms. Making things worse, the rest of Bravo Co. was still under heavy fire, fire intensifying furiously whenever somebody tried to move from cover to help their injured brothers. Without regard for his own safety, SGT McDade decided that he was going to go get em, no matter what. His Gunny told him that, were he to be injured out there, theyd be unable to get him out of there immediately. Thats OK, SGT McDade answered, just dont let me die out there. Read the whole thing...
