   Please take heart in what you did. You were there to help our soldiers when necessary but you were able to reinforce what I believe is the American spirit and ideal…that we wish to make the WORLD a better place. By trying to live by the Golden rule I believe makes each person a little better regardless of the circumstances. Who knows? Perhaps you saved the life of someone who will go on to end this mess because of your kindness. Thank you very much for your service…but thank you more for your courage and fortitude. You are a far, far better person than I am…one that I can aspire to be a bit more like.

   Thank you for your service, sir. All soldiers are equals, as we are all humans in that situation caught up in a conflict that is not of our making, nor one we would choose to undertake under normal circumstances. They might never know it, but their families, like those of American families owe you a worl fo gratitude, and I thank you for that.

   As a fellow Army combat medic, dont worry that they don’t know. THEY wouldn’t understand. You have done what few others in this country have. You have seen the world in a new light. Keep your head up and your aid bag stocked. ~CAV SCOUT MEDIC

   life is precious… no matter who’s life it is. Be proud of your service and for the courage to serve those that hate us. It is a much better way to win then to hate them back.

    There needs to be more people in this world like you.
19. September 1, 2012  by  Heather

    I agree, more people in this world who were like you and maybe we wouldn’t see as much combat as we do. You’re my hero for saving a human life in the face of worrying about others views. Strong person, you are! Keep up your morals, we need people like you.

    And it’s fucked up you shouldn’t be thanked and respected for it. I mean, no doubt a lot were civilians. I assume. I don’t mean to even say the civilian lives are more important than the enemy soldiers’ lives, either. They are just lives. Hello? Hello? Does anyone recognise they are PEOPLE’S LIVES?

    I think the fact that you saved the lives of human beings even though they were “enemies” makes your service even more heroic. Thank you.

    You saved lives, you did your job. All that matters.

    Besides, how many of those enemies went back home and told the story of the enemy that saved their life ?

    I happily agree with all of the above. Thank you for your service as an army combat medic.
