According to CBS News, this video was taken by Medevac pilots of Captain Will Swenson the day he earned his Medal of Honor. There’s nothing that I can say that would add to this;

Had to click over to ABC o see the video. Was worth it for what video is there… well worth it.
Thanks for posting that, damn good video. I have a hard time watching videos like this, too many memories get drug back up. Kudos to ABC for presenting it for what it is, one soldiers love for another, a bond that runs so deep that most who have never worn the uniform, on any side, will never understand. No politics, no message, just an image.
There is nothing anyone can say to add to that, Jonn.
Damn.
Blurry monitor. Very blurry.
Good to see something like this.
Wow, just…. wow.
“greater love hath no man…”
What a man! Looking after his men first. God bless him and the families of his Sergeant and his other men lost that day. Well done Captain Swenson.
Damn. Just damn.
Wow.
“Greater love hath no man than this: to lay his life down for his brother”…
Hero is a very loosely used term these days. This man is the textbook definition of a hero. We stand in awe of you CPT Swenson
With tears of pride … HAND SALUTE!
Damn, indeed.
Wow.
Semper Fi, CPT Swenson…
Wife must’ve dusted in the house today.
I gotta remember not to watch this stuff at work, coulda been an awkward moment trying to explain to my supervisor why I had tears running down my face.
A greater love indeed.
Thank you, Jonn, for posting the video. With his repeated trips into the ambush zone, CPT Swenson shows us the true meaning of ‘love your troops.’
Isaiah 6:8 reads “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me’.”
If I’m 1/100th of the man that Captain Swenson is, my life is a life well lived.
I’m sitting in a bar waiting for a female friend to show up, and in walks a guy in a shirt that says Devils of Ramadi and Seal Team 3 on the sleeve. Twitch. Twitch.
I was watching this while waiting, and in he walks. More to follow…
That’s nice that his family got to see it.
God bless them.
SHAI DORSAI!!!
Lotsa dust in the air this morning. (snif)
People like Cpt. Swenson make me proud to have worn the same uniform. We can only hope that we are fortunate enough to spend a fraction of our life around men like him.
