God bless his soul and give us all a small part of his courage

I had to look into it closer, real hero's are so uncommon.
You will be interested in the whole story.

My hats off to thas man! That very well could have been my dad he rescued, but thank God dad never found himself in that situation. Although he did have some close calls including hitting a land mine while in the back of a truck.

If you find stuff like this inspiring (I sure do) check out Desmond Doss. This guy defines the word hero. He was a medic that refused to carry a weapon, only a small bible he kept on his person. I saw the documentary but I don't remember exactly how many people he rescued on one particular occasion but it was a lot! Under heavy enemy fire he kept going back getting them one by one.

Here is a starting point for anyone interested:
