His Grandson asked Grandpa why he was crying the man said remember the scar I showed you on my back, if it wasnt for a Navy Corpsman like this man I wouldnt be here with you.

He said it takes a real man and friend and comrade to do what this man did, to put his life on the line to save his Marines.


Makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it....
