We had no where to go but in. We went in or got killed, one of the two.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For his service Phillips received two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross. Phillips says with everything he does in life, the goal is always for good and to help someone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, tough business. Except that the person who sent this to me, noted that hs name wasn&#8217;t in the Home of Heroes registry for the Navy Cross, Doug Sterner verified that for us.
