Thank you for your service Cpl. Rubin.

Also...Happy Birthday MOH recipient Cpl. Jerry Crump.
RIP.

Rank and organization: Corporal, U.S. Army, Company L, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Chorwon, Korea, 6 and 7 September 1951. Entered service at: Forest City, N.C. Born: 18 February 1933, Charlotte, N.C. G.O. No.: 68, 11 July 1952. Citation. Cpl. Crump, a member of Company L, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and outstanding courage above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. During the night a numerically superior hostile force launched an assault against his platoon on Hill 284, overrunning friendly positions and swarming into the sector. Cpl. Crump repeatedly exposed himself to deliver effective fire into the ranks of the assailants, inflicting numerous casualties. Observing 2 enemy soldiers endeavoring to capture a friendly machine gun, he charged and killed both with his bayonet, regaining control of the weapon. Returning to his position, now occupied by 4 of his wounded comrades, he continued his accurate fire into enemy troops surrounding his emplacement. When a hostile soldier hurled a grenade into the position, Cpl. Crump immediately flung himself over the missile, absorbing the blast with his body and saving his comrades from death or serious injury. His aggressive actions had so inspired his comrades that a spirited counterattack drove the enemy from the perimeter. Cpl. Crump’s heroic devotion to duty, indomitable fighting spirit, and willingness to sacrifice himself to save his comrades reflect the highest credit upon himself, the infantry and the U.S. Army.

Where do we find such men as Tibor?
We don't. They find themselves. They found the US.

From Star earlier.....

Our pediatrician just got back from a mission trip to the Dominican Republic with ALBERT PUJOLS (Yes - THE Albert Pujols!!!) and is giving a presentation at our church tonight.

I had to look him up. Sounds like a really good presentation.

[PROCON]

I’m sorry, how high were the winds?/Typical or Gorebull warming?!/LOL

[SandRat]

When we get wind storms that go through they can get sustained of 35 - 40 with gosts to 55, and that’s normal spring winds.

Mega actually means "million", so the lottery is actually the "million millions", which could be construed as false advertising, but they'd counter that all advertising is false anyway.

Aint enough money in the federal budget to pay out a million millions.

Thanks for the thread.

A man surely destined for glory.
