#2 The Brits can't be too far gone into dhimmitude - they still produce soldiers like this. God bless and keep his family, and provide a welcome place for him in Paradise.

A decision will not be taken until next year.

#6 Say something for us TW.

*smiles through tears* I just turned on the computer for the first time today, Shipman... It looks like others beat me to it -- he sounds like a husband and a father and a comrade and a countryman to be proud of. The Victoria Cross gains additional shine when given to such a man. Rest well, Corporal Budd, you've done your bit to change the world into what it ought to be.

#8 John, the citation is posted and cited at my blog. You don't think I'd miss a little detail like that. The presentation has not yet been made, but the VC has definitely been awarded.
