A few months after I got out of the army. I was invited to a Gala in Las Vegas 2013 where I was lucky enough to meet Tom Norris and his friend Mike Thornton i was lucky enough to hold both of their medal of honors. Both great men very down-to-earth. There were a lot of Medal of Honor recipients at that Gala and I got to spend about a week hanging out with some of the coolest people on the planet

[@andreacruz42069]

Thank you for your service and theirs as well 🙏

They are recipients not winners of the Medal of Honor. But it's cool you got to hold them. I have met a few Medal of Honor recipients in my time in and they are the humblest (not sure if I spelled that right) men.

You have to know someone really well to make a code like that. Fun game to play with your best friends. Write them a code based on what you know about them and let them decipher the message. The more you know about someone the easier it is to make for them a secret code.

People sadly ask why so many soldiers would risk their lives to rescue one or two men trapped behind enemy lines. I can only imagine what would keep a person from doing everything they're capable of to save them, and didn't know any soldiers that didn't feel the same way.

One thing is what you feel. Another thing is the fact you know the expected outcome is more death. You can't honestly say that one man is worth more than a 99% chance of far more dying.
