Army Ranger Sergeant 1st class Leroy Petry has been awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of a hand. A true American hero, and a shining example of the best this country has to offer. I salute you sir.

It's a shame that people have to lose their hands to be considered heroes.

Nevertheless, good for him. Certainly not a job I would be capable of doing.

Oh, it is not a prerequisite in my book at least. Most real heros go unsung.

Nevertheless, good for him. Certainly not a job I would be capable of doing.

Nor would I, which makes me appreciate his actions all the more.
