While I’m in the politically charged mood, I found out that we had awarded our first Medal of Honor since 1993. Well, I had to do some research, cause I have never heard of this guy. Sgt. Paul Smith was killed in action April 4th defending his men, his position and his convictions.

The article goes on to talk about his dedication to his soldiers, to his job, to his family. It’s a gathering of eye witness accounts of one of the finest acts of bravery I have ever heard of. Honestly, it made my eyes water.

I know there are probably more like him, doing all they can in the line of duty. This is one of the most moving things I have ever read and I felt obligated to give him what little recognition my small blog can garner.
