He was in my military history class at the University of South Carolina in 2013-2014. It was a small class, and I noticed he had all these injuries, but never asked about them. On the last day of class, the professor (retired Air Force Lt. Col.) read out the story and while he was crying, pointed out to Kyle and said, "That is your classmate sitting back there. He will be getting the Medal of Honor for these actions I just read to y'all!" It was such a cool and humbling experience. The entire semester, and we had no idea as a class that we were sitting next to and talking to a true American hero!

There were plenty of dark hours at night, and like he said it’s pretty hard to convey, honestly.

Atalanta571 They got trained by professionals with a lot more skill then they had at the beginning of their doctor career. Then, you might say, who trained those doctors? It goes back and back until you get to the doctors who used trial and error to help their patients. If something didn’t work, they wouldn’t use it anymore. And if something saved a person’s life, then it was recreated over and over again until they perfected the treatment.

When he returned from Russian captivity at the age of 23. all 5 brothers were dead. none of his schoolmates survived this madness. i'm german. Mr. Carpenter. God gave you a second chance, for some reason you didn't die. I am convinced that God protected you. Since you still have a job to do here on Earth! Nobody knows what the task is. only god knows that. I hope your recovery continues. With the greatest respect, before your will to live, your attitude and love for your fatherland.

In fact, I have it favorited on my KZbin account and I watch it literally every few days and have probably 50+ times. You said “I believe that I jumped on the grenade because of what is instilled in you at boot camp... that you want to do things that are courageous”. Believe you me, people have heard your story. Heroes should not be an idol that others look up to and fear meeting or feel inferior. A hero should set a precedence, an image, that inspires others to also want to be courageous and do the things that their hero has done. And because of that, there’s at least one person, I know there are many more, but at least one person that lives their life with your story in mind and when situations arise that are difficult, scary, hard, tough, they think back to your image, message about being courageous. Thank you for that.
