You and the editor at ChronWatch should read Free Republic more often.

I am sure LadyJAG will be adding that man to her harem of photos for Friday Silliness. She is developing quite the reputation. Some are calling her "dollar bill". I however am not among that crowd.

I heard of an American naval person who got a Silver Star for shooting an unarmed Vietnamese boy in the back. That action bears no relation whatsoever to this Marine's courageous action. The MSM refuses to write about real heros, but use all their space for traitorous non-heros like Kerry.

I don't know what that means, but Capt. Brian Chontosh is a hunk to me!

[Valin]

I thought it sounded familiar.

For those of you who might not know, the man on the left is the Commandant of the Marine Corps (Gen. Michael W. Hagee), and he is proud to know the man on the right.......

Good post, although I believe the award was made out on Range 400 about a year or two ago.

[Calpernia]

It is never too late to say thank you ^-^

Holy Cow...
The marines are coming... and they brought hell with them...

wow...

Is there any way of having a headliner at the top of the forums for such heroic acts by our military? We need to keep these stories in the limelight and at the forefront of the site.

For your interest.

I just sent this to everybody in my address book and asked them to pass it on. That seems to be the only wayb the news will get out. Thanks for the post and thank God that we have such wonderful, couragous people fighting for us.

Thanks for the ping.

This story is in the true reflections of Sgt. York of Tennessee from the first WW. A true American Hero in all respects of the word. This Marine should be awarded the CMH as was Sgt. York. A Movie for TV on a real Hero.

I just received this message in an email from Lee Ellis, who writes occasional columns published on various web journals (chronwatch.com; The Rant.us etc.) Lee is a retired CBS and Gannett Vice President. He noticed this article on Brian Chontosh, and said this:

"This happened right near where I live. The Navy Cross was given to him back on May 6, 2004, just a tad over a year ago. It was in our newspapers, of course, and on our TV because it was a local story as is everything that happens at 29 Palms Marine base.

Thanks for reminding of us about it. I have seen this on the net quite a bit since last year, but it is good for it to be repeated often.

Semper Fi!
