Navy SEAL Receives Medal of Honor

[@SolidMikeP]

I'm sitting here, in my beautiful home, with my two daughters and wife playing outside in the sun. I sit here with no worries of death, no worries of attack, I sit here in pure appreciation of these men, and all who serve. Thank you for allowing me this life, thank you for putting yourselves in front of danger so that it may not reach our children, our loved ones. Thank you

[@muaythaiworld9786]

Couldn't have said it better.

[@chalkmonster123]

You fight wars for oil only your wonderful usa has only been invaded 2 times in history(by us the uk)so what wars should you be fighting ( no wars) god bless america you need help alot of help

[@SolidMikeP]

Please keep you negative comments far far away from a video honoring a great American, I'm sure you have no idea what it is to be an American, judging by your sentence. No one is asking for your opinion here, please stay away, as you can probably tell, Americans are not to be messed with.

[@chalkmonster123]

I was not been negative and yes you are correct i dont no what it is like to be a American as i am from the uk (we have helped you out many times) Americans are not to be messed with ? Yes your right no body should mess with Total Federal Government Debt in 2016. At the end of FY 2016 the gross US federal government debt is estimated to be $19.3 trillion, according to the FY17 Federal Budget.

[@arnonabuurs7297]

Damn you are VERY VERY unknowing...sitting there in your green garden...sir. Just stay there and lock the door as soon the US will be falling, as we can see the cracks appearing as we speak.

[@aayushimehta6407]

I'm not an American. But I have huge respect for people of this country. You inspire us by your bravery ,humility and determination. Thank you :)

[@thomasackerly7732]

Thank You for your support.

[@TravelingTom1]

2 Purple heart, 5 Bronze stars with valor and a Medal of honor.. Well, atleast I got my Camporee ribbon...

[@FSXGOLDKING]

Had the opportunity to meet Byers down In ft pierce and get a picture with him, was such a honor to meet a warrior of his caliber

[@MrTimms-sn1kh]

FSXGOLDKING lucky

[@slothin21]

It's gotta be a hard decision to narrow down just one to receive this honor. So many brave souls out there but only one gets chosen. Much respect!

[@VeracityMedia]

what an amazing life to live. Thank you SEALS.

[@AlCapone-dl3cd]

For anyone to get a medal of honor is the best of the best.

[@billsmith4179]

I'm a retired Army Ranger and I am in awe of this warrior. This is a certified hero and legitimate bad ass. Thank you for your service, sacrifices, and your tears for your fallen teammates water the seeds of patriotism in this country.

[@benschreiner4018]

Thank you very much for your service I am a teen looking at a career in the military and I to hope to serve our great country one again thank you

[@TakeDeadAim]

What's really amazing is watching the relation between Mike Thornton and Tommy Norris. "Big Mike" seems to always STILL be Norris's protector. In interviews with them both, Mike will have his arm around him. Amazing...

[@anangelsstar]

Thank you for your service to our country and everyone in it. I'm also very sorry for your loss. The loss of a friend, a teammate, a brother is something even I can't put into words myself

[@jorgevillalobos1852]

I'm not an American, but I travel a lot there (too dangerous to do so in my own country). In a sense, when I travel America, I enjoy the beautiful country and the liberties these guys provide, only as a guest, but I thank all of them for that.

[@bradyjones2962]

[@madpatriot7464]

[@benschreiner4018]

I'm just assuming because SEALs are not all about politics I'm assuming their more of a I'll do what I'm ordered sort of people you know who would want to go from jumping out of planes shooting guns and having bad ass beards to having to be a suit wearing pencil pushing politician

[@backera83]

ben schreiner i doubt theyd make good candidates anyways. Too many secrets and black ink.

[@erocthegreatbauer7245]

Devan Jeffries Not true at all. There have been a couple governors that have been seals. Not to mention there are only about 3k seals with a 3rd of them being active.

[@kevinzhang3313]

I assume because he has a sense of self respect and love for his country.

[@jamescook6564]

[@jamesfarrell8339]

I have had the privilege and honor to meet multiple Medal of Honor recipients in Atlantic City New Jersey. I was amazed at how humble they were and did not seek out any attention. I am a Marine Corps Veteran and it was a special too be in there company. Thank you for your service and sacrifices protecting our great Nation. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA.

Thank You Sir for your service! Solid Mike P nailed it!

[@halloausdusseldorf]

I thank you so very, very much for your service Chief Petty Officer Byers!

[@titaniumquarrion9838]

Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Hostage Rescue Force Team Member in Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM from 8 to 9 December 2012. As the rescue force approached the target building, an enemy sentry detected them and darted inside to alert his fellow captors. The sentry quickly reemerged, and the lead assaulter attempted to neutralize him. Chief Byers with his team sprinted to the door of the target building. As the primary breacher, Chief Byers stood in the doorway fully exposed to enemy fire while ripping down six layers of heavy blankets fastened to the inside ceiling and walls to clear a path for the rescue force. The first assaulter pushed his way through the blankets, and was mortally wounded by enemy small arms fire from within. Chief Byers, completely aware of the imminent threat, fearlessly rushed into the room and engaged an enemy guard aiming an AK- 47 at him. He then tackled another adult male who had darted towards the corner of the room. During the ensuing hand-to-hand struggle, Chief Byers confirmed the man was not the hostage and engaged him. As other rescue team members called out to the hostage, Chief Byers heard a voice respond in English and raced toward it. He jumped atop the American hostage and shielded him from the high volume of fire within the small room. While covering the hostage with his body, Chief Byers immobilized another guard with his bare hands, and restrained the guard until a teammate could eliminate him. His bold and decisive actions under fire saved the lives of the hostage and several of his teammates. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of near certain death, Chief Petty Officer Byers reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

[@jamesfarrell8339]

Titanium Quarrion Thank you for posting.

[@emilyhutjes]

@Titanium Quarrion: -> Thank you sir. May our God always bless the brave and your Millitairy is brave. XXOO

[@englundus]

Apparently SEAL Development Group is not a covert unit the way SEAL Team 6 was when Richard Marcinko was the Captain back in the 80's! Basically they didn't even officially exist! Kudos to Senior Chief Byers!!! He saved American lives that night!!!

[@eliasrivera5029]

Thank you for serving our country!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@m.a.c.8366]

I have said this before on comments I have made. I am not American, but I watch many videos about the Green Berets which always get to me because I love them so much. I play that special song all the time. You know the one I mean!!! Anyway, tonight I came across this beautiful video about this Navy Seal being presented the Medal of Honour being given by President Obama. I had never seen this ceremony before, and I was completely enthralled at seeing the MOH being presented to this hero!!!!! Truly magnificent, and I salute this man for his bravery. Kindest Regards to you Sir, From Australia.

[@Diesel11769]

[@danielarriaga5716]

Sorry but their are many heroic acts that surpass what he did and those people will never get recognized. He did his job but I don’t think it merits the Medal of Honor. Silver star, sure. Soldiers battle for hours with out food or rest to keep their unit safe and many individuals have done heroic acts but they can barely get help from the VA.

Ark angel Raphial, the gods did get involved with his physical form creation. They made his hands smaller than average hands. That was done on purpose with his pre given consent. I had to remember to get my checklist complete, we had to expand our home kingdom of heaven to make room for all of the good back home. We had to create hell and expand heaven. Raphael hes been around for a long time, he is also a transfer to the 16th chappel.

Constitution ensures separation of church and government. First line in this video, literally in the white house with the president is "let us pray". Oh the irony,

[@SM-53242]

Marco Marcella FIRST amendment to the Constitution, read it. Thomas Jefferson on the separation of church and state, an author of the Constitution, read it. Who doesn't understand the Constitution again? Maybe next time reply with some actual substance ;)

[@SM-53242]

Marco Marcella and again you've said absolutely nothing. Congrats on those 3 "impressive" words though. It takes a real moron to be pretentious about his knowledge of the definition of "enthralled" 😁

[@SM-53242]

Marco Marcella it's okay you can google the word pretentious ;)

[@catmac3577]

+ShonThom McGah Like many people, you have a misunderstanding of the meaning of the Separation of Church and State. The Constitution ensures that the Federal government will not establish a national religion nor will it force the American people to attend any religious services chosen by any governmental official. Nowhere does it state that government meetings and/or special functions cannot be opened and closed with prayer. As a matter of fact, sessions of Congress,State functions, etc. are always opened and closed with prayer. This is in no way a violation of the Constitution.

[@jefferywilliams5878]

Although this Hero is being presented this huge award lot's of Americans including myself could tell that Obama was not having a good time. It's a shame Americans stuped this low to elect the most important Man on earth due to his sales pitches. Even after proving to the world that Obama was a radical Islam and lied to America and hates Christianity and America some Americans were sold on the idea that Obama could change the tides. And today even after Trump has strengthen our economy and military and cut taxes for millions of Americans and tighten our boarders some Americans refuse to see the love and devotion that Trump has for America. Obama was a diabolical demon that nearly destroyed our military and economy. Which even with blinders on a horse could see Obamas hate towards Christianity and America. Congratulations to this great American and honerable Hero.
