For picking up an enemy grenade to throw it away from his troops, losing his hand as a result, Sergeant First Class Leroy Arthur Petry will be awarded the Medal of Honor.
Remember when our jihadi enemies taunted us by saying our people couldn't face them and would only lob cruise missiles?
Ten years of kicking their asses up close and personal has ended that comforting delusion of our enemies. Now they do just about anything to avoid facing our troops, using IEDs and suicide bombers.
Thank you, from a grateful nation.
