WATCH: First Ever Medal Of Honor Action Captured On Video

I tend to read a lot of different articles around the web but came across this story of John Chapman accompanied with a video of his action and what earned him our country's highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Msg Chapman died saving 23 others in Afghanistan.

Uncommon courage seems to be a common virtue

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

We probably could not operate as we do in that terrain without CH-47s--am forwarding to a combat-experienced Chinook friend for additional comment.
