[@USAIRFORCE621]

I write this comment out of tremendous respect for unfortunately now deceased SSG Ronald J. Shurer II, a soldier, a son, a husband and a father taken from his family, friends and country far too soon but one whose memory shall live on in all Medal of Honor recipients and all those who answer the call to service and duty and whom wear the sacred cloth of our U.S. military! As we recall that fateful day in 2008 some 12 years ago we recall a soldier who despite overwhelming enemy fire fought with outstanding honor, courage, bravery, gallantry and valor to help tend to the soldiers whose lives he helped save as a senior medical sergeant! SSG Shurer sir you did your country proud both in service to our U.S. Army and the Secret Service, Rest In Peace sir, I salute you!

[@franciskorir4403]

Rest In Peace Ron You dedicated yourself in saving lives... May Angels be with you Eternally ❤️

[@Samokopecky]

[@ronbowman4437]

God Bless Mr. Shurer and his family.. such a tragedy for him to die so young at 41 yrs. What a great man and his great achievements.. he certainly deserved the Medal Of Honor.

[@lunar9757]

Oh how nice! I respect you brave soldier.

[@anurasilva1241]

Congratulations Ron, you really deserve it

[@viktormason3442]

Honor and Glory upon you Brother.

[@imdman5278]

How is there honor and glory in murdering for Israel?

[@coles2688]

Im Dman We don’t murder, we kill, and we don’t fight for Israel, we fight for America and God.

[@mpwarrior850]

Thank all of you for your service.

[@imdman5278]

Yes thank you for murdering people for the state of Israel because no one has attacked the United States.

[@coles2688]

Im Dman Al Queada did on 9/11

[@downlink5877]

RIP

[@jazz_prodzz5761]

My mom attended the Medal of Honor Ceremony. You can see her in camera, she’s the Sergeant First Class with a bun while the camera is zooming in. My mom is now a Second Lieutenant in the Army.

[@jazz_prodzz5761]

@Cool Story Bro Sorry, I didn’t think of that. I’ll try to be more considerate next time. But I did search up about the Medal of Honor recipient. He’s an actual hero. But I’ll try to be more considerate next time. I apologize for that.

[@BirdsOfGlass]

@@jazz_prodzz5761 dont apologize! It is an interesting fact & a cool story, only one person thinks you are taking credit & he is wrong. You know who respected & was extremely grateful that she was there? A medal of honor recipient.

[@xback40verland38]

I salute all of you. God Bless your health and families.

[@bladerunner5176]

God Bless our President , God bless our military and God Bless America.

[@Nalu.Emperado]

God bless you SSG Shurer and thank you for your extreme devotion to duty and selflessness you displayed during your time in the army. Its really sad that he passed after all hes been thru. He will never be forgotten and his inspiration still inspires till today. Say what you will about Former President Trump but he truly appreciated and cared for our men and women in uniforn and their families. Thank you for the care displayed during your time in office. God bless you all. And god bless our home the United States of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@davidhagensten4264]

Obama gave a medal to Ellen lol

[@NunYa953]

🤨🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@patrickmckiernan9775]

It's awesome to have a president who truly loves the military and our first responders. They are the best of us.

[@semorgan2088]

Much deserved. Thankfully, we now have a president that acknowledges the bravery and courage it takes to fight Obama's people.

[@TheActiveAssault]

Badass

[@Griff33]

Rest in pease badass.....

[@clyderhoads]

RIP, SSG Shurer

[@hankterreros223]

Back in 1972 recipients would also get $100.00 a month for life.

[@expertcritic9547]

He needs 20k a month for life.

[@josephadams6739]

Expert Critic whose paying that? Lolz Statist

[@jackscott5465]

I don't know what to say. Surely the LORD THY GOD IS COMFORTING HIM AND HIS FAMILY. GOOD JOB BUB! TEARS.

[@kayleemoon._6045]

This is crazy this is my friends dad my friend is Cameron shurer his son

[@sephiroth-117]

Who would dislike this?

[@josephadams6739]

Adan Trujillo people who aren’t Statists

[@mrwascaly42]

ANTIFA minded Douche Bags.

[@corriehenning8396]

quit badmouthing trump!! I asked why the 8yr delay! it seems the brave soldier had a long waite for recognition of his selfless bravery

[@suegeorge8694]

Corrie Henning After the mission, 10 silver stars were awarded to those involved in the battle. Staff Sergeant Shurer received one of the stars. Years later, the military looked over awards given since 9/11 and decided that he deserved the Congressional Medal of Honor.

[@coles2688]

Corrie Henning Like Sue said, there was a major review of every valorous award given to every branch, that’s why this took 8 years to get. It’s also why it took 16 years for TSgt. John Chapman to get the Medal of Honor.

[@hahaha6199]

Lol, 10 years later still over there. Those must be some really good drugs to be protecting them this long.

[@josephadams6739]

Ha HaHa harsh truths

[@coles2688]

Ha HaHa We are still training the Afghani people to stop acting like cavemen and defend their land from the Taliban, Al Queada, and ISIS.

[@corriehenning8396]

why the 8yr delay????

[@semorgan2088]

Because Obama didn't want to. President Trump is righting the ship.

[@TheZayas55]

Corrie Henning Bureaucracy and not given lightly. FYI, no winner sought the Medal.

[@davidhagensten4264]

Obama was busy giving a medal to Ellen

[@suegeorge8694]

Because originally, 10 silver stars were given after the mission. The military looked at awards given after 9-11 and decided that he deserved the Medal of Honor.

[@mohammedmsq1767]

Heat the dert they are the best of the rest with short shot giving you their best there lives BUT the long shot when you shavl a shet 💲. So what do you think of ther reaction? The need some 💲they are full of love and thanks be right man for USA .thank you all of you I am from KSA.

[@zacharypeery4082]

That chaplain sux

[@lonniepowell9237]

Spanky need a metal too .A .medal of dis honor

[@onlinenewsnetwork6876]

Did he forget to shave?

[@TheZayas55]

Online News Network you get the MOH you deserve not to shave. Eff uuu.

[@onlinenewsnetwork6876]

It's a serious?

[@coles2688]

Online News Network He isn’t in the Army anymore, he does not have to shave. Also he was special forces, and all special forces soldiers have beards while deployed so they can blend in better with the Afghani people.

[@josermz22]

He said he had a rash from chemotherapy from cancer in Jocko's podcast.

[@jamescook6564]

He is a civilian now. Well he just died of cancer. But at the time he was a civilian.

[@fisher3317]

There's something about Trump's kindness that feels artificial. It doesn't feel as genuine as Obama's.

[@humbleone6405]

@David Holcomb Trumps a hero...he had his chance in a place called Vietnam...remember...draft deferments and bone spurs...but he joked about it then and said he was dodging STDs. That was his Vietnam.

[@imdman5278]

They all work for Israel and the Jews wake up

[@middleman8787]

Fisher 33 cause he’s white

[@markhayes7147]

It's no about feel it's about what he does. Obama did care about transgender toilets and playing golf all the time. What an embarrassing president he really was, Trump has guts where as Obama was piss weak.

[@monxrc488]

Baiting fuck-wit

[@imdman5278]

I'm a u.s. vet and there is no honor in murdering for is reel.

[@monxrc488]

You're obviously not a veteran..nor are you American. l can tell by your broken english/sentence..plus the fact you were applauding the death of U.S soldiers in Israel in your other comment.. typical foreigner fuck.

[@coles2688]

Im Dman You are not a vet, you are a PUSSY.

[@husbandmanmediator9406]

What no salute he didn't do it.

[@onlinenewsnetwork6876]

The Chaplain is a general? Lol, wtf

[@MrMagnificents]

Never once been to Afghanistan to support our troops. Charges taxpayers for the over 200 trips to his own properties. See his priorities

[@semorgan2088]

How many times did you?

[@wreds8708]

Yawn.......hillery up by 11 pts

[@xback40verland38]

Complete ignorance is your stench. Dana Collins

[@MrMagnificents]

@@xback40verland38 what's ignorant? Has he been to Afghanistan? No. Has divested from any of those properties? No. Do they charge taxpayers? Yes. Did they raise their rates when he became president? Yes. So who's ignorant now? You

[@LordMaxwellx]

Only in the Army is it ok to accept such an Honor with out shaving

[@downlink5877]

He couldn't shave because of a skin condition related to his cancer treatment, you freak

[@CRHE]

Lord Maxwell Only on the internet can someone say something so stupid without getting slapped.

[@dr_maes484]
