Great story.
New push to award Gabaldon the Medal of Honor By Adrian Sainz - The Associated Press Posted : Sunday May 4, 2008 12:11:43 EDT MIAMI Armed and alone, Guy Gabaldon roamed Saipan’s caves and pillboxes, using his Japanese language skills to convince enemy soldiers and civilians to surrender during the hellish World War II island battle in the summer of 1944. Warning the Japanese they would die if they stayed in the caves, Gabaldon told them Marines were not torturers as they had heard, but instead would feed them and give them medical care. Many agreed, and Gabaldon, 18, led them back to U.S. lines. http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2008/05/ap_gabaldon_marine_050308/ http://getguythemedal.com/ |

Good read
Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes it worth living. c.50-c.130 |
