This kind of went under the radar on Friday and Saturday but President Bush awarded Cpl. Dunham the Medal of Honor for covering a grenade during a battle near the Syrian border. The award was given during the dedication ceremony of the National Museum of the Marine Corps on its (the Marine Corps) 231st birthday. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Notice the keyword "try" in that quote.
I read some other places that the helmet lowered the effects of the blast very little and was actually his body that bore the brunt. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
