Cpl Rushe receives his award. Childrens Champions Awards

For those who missed the awards here is the moment Cpl Rushe from Coleraine recevied his award. I'm certain he is now pleased both to be recognised as a true HERO and also that his Royal Irish Pals are now home. Enjoy.

Every person that pulls on her majesties uniform is a hero, but you sir are a hero amongst hero's. Well done and thank you.

[@matthewboyde6998]

both soldiers in that video are true heroes. one helped save his comrades, the other saved innocent children. Heroes

[@2410jrod]

Way to go doc!!! Well deserved from the Americans

[@jordanscott9736]

This put a massive smile on my face

[@altaylor3988]

Congratulations Cpl Rushe, you not only helped the little Girl in Afghanistan BUT you have inspired a hell of a lot of children and in my experience there is no greater reward or appreciation, apart from seeing your own Children Born, than that of a Child! and her Father. My Squadron Motto was "Non Solum Nobis" roughly translated as "Not by/for Ourselves Alone"

[@ExpandableGamers]

not to mention american soldiers used to have small cards in afganistan that said, never steal, argue, or fight with the British, because they always win

VC= Victoria's Cross, the UK version of the CMH If you need an image of real hero, screen shot this lad.

Faugh a ballagh !!

[@edwinfawcett6517]

You salute the Medal. Everyone from General Chief of staff, Field Marshal down to Privates must salute a holder of the VC

[@hughfranklin4002]

And so they should.

[@smutygudy]

faugh a ballagh

[@kealyc1]

WRONG - every one from General down has to salute Beharry, because Beharry wears the Victoria Cross. Both Beharry and Rushe were in unifrom, Beharry in dress uniform with medals, so Rushe could have and should have saluted him.

[@BMH1965]

Wrong. It is only a tradition. It is not a regulation.

[@kealyc1]

After cuddling his mum and fiancée, and before taking his award, he should have walked over to Beharry and saluted him.

[@iamsoldierf8316]

Christopher Kealy close. On arriving at the stage, should of marched and halted. Then saluted corporal Beharry. VC! Then carryon.
