I wasn't sure where to post this but I want everyone to know about SFC Petry, a Ranger, and someone I have witnessed first hand in combat!
He is the first Ranger of the 75th to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan. There have been 12 other soldiers and Marines awarded the Medal of Honor. Unfortunately 10 of those were awarded for fallen soldier or Marines. We both shared some dirt and scrapes in Somalia and, although, we were not close friends we were both young Rangers in a fubar'd situation and if anyone would rise to the challenge and the kind of heroism it takes to receive our highest award it would be Petry!
Ranger Forward!
