#1 Good job Colonel. I love seeing our officers and NCOs lead by example and it is great that the Iraqis saw this first hand.

#3 Awe-some. This Colonel transcended the cultural gap and quite probably saved many Iraqi lives that day.

You must be feeling pretty proud Lone Ranger.

#6 Outstanding. I saw where GW awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor. I wonder how many have been awarded in the Iraqi War.
