 A young Marine from Long Island had only seconds to act when a fanatic driving a truck bomb came crashing through barricades and aimed straight for a building where 30 fellow Leathernecks and 25 Iraqi cops were just waking up. Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter, of Sag Harbor, and fellow Marine Cpl. Jonathan Yale, 21, of Burkeville, Va., knew they had to stop the truck at any cost - and didn't hesitate. On Friday, the Marine Corps will mark their ultimate sacrifice by posthumously awarding each the Navy Cross. --MORE-- http://www.nypost.com/seven/02172009/news/regionalnews/..._comrades_155583.htm |

Doesn't a soldier who gives his life saving other soldiers or civilians get the Purple Heart? I'm just wondering, very brave young man, a man to look up to as a young guy that want's to join the army..

Oh thought the purple heart was higher.. Doesn't this deserve a Medal Of Honour? If i'd had to decide who get's what medal i'd hand out Medal's of Honour like candy, every soldier KIA protecting fellow soldiers deserves the honour.. "Land Of Freedom, Home Of The Brave!" |
