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 🙏

[@djbeezy]

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.

If you meet them again, tell them that their stories and their amazing works, had made them very popular on KZbin. I had never heard of them before. But since I watched this video, I can only give a salute to Mr Norris

[@chair2930]

I cannot imagine how he must have felt as an "air guy" being on the ground. Terrifying!

[@cliffisfuckingawesome3508]

yeah when you're working with stuff in airplanes (i can kinda confirm i play dcs, a very realistic flight sim) you often think like "oh thats just 20 miles away, ill be there in a minute or 2". but when you're suddenly wounded on the ground, i can imagine that its quite humbling to have such difficult reaching even 50 meters.

[@Nipplator99999999999]

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.

[@bobthegoat7090]

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.

[@evamkaushik5392]

You're referring to 'they'll do everything to save him because they expect the same to be done for them if they were in his state'

It's hard to say these men were worth loosing to save this man. I doubt anyone would really say that. But many brave men are willing to risk there lives to rescue 1 man. That's because all of our fighting men and women are very important, And in my opinion worth dying for. I'm guessing if your doing dangerous missions in witch you can be killed, just knowing that if possible you will be rescued makes all or a big difference in what your willing to do.
