A HERO

Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham of Scio, N.Y.

In April 2004, Dunham, a 22-year-old corporal, received
a report that a Marine convoy had been ambushed, according
to a Marine Corps account. Dunham led his men to the site near
Husaybah, halting a convoy of departing cars. An insurgent in one
of the vehicles grabbed him by the throat when he went to search
the car and the two fought. A grenade was dropped, and Dunham
covered the explosive with his Kevlar helmet, which along with
his chest plate absorbed some of the blast.
He died a few days later.

It is hard for me to relate this hero with people I know and
love. When they speak, it all is meaningless . Their dribble ,
double speak, hatred and ignorance is what this young man
died for . Their freedom to be total idiots (on their own) is
what this country and these brave people are all about.

Would you lay down your life for others?

Would you lay down your life for your country?

Do you know what it takes to be a hero?

God Bless his soul and all that died or
fought for our freedom!
