That other one above sounded like total BS tho .. never *ever* recalled hearing/reading about any such thing from our side .. too bad God doesn't have a wiki asst. to scrub the FUD and ZOT the posters thereof.
Thanks y'all
I highly doubt that it was GOE, but more than likely some of the assorted other nuts and fruitcakes from the “peaceful” anti-war side.
Rugged and heroic guys.
I couldn’t have carried a forty pound ruck twenty-six miles in a week. Not even with a wheelbarrow.
“God Bless the military! They WERE prepared!”
In some of the videos it shows some of the cops reacting slowly to the unfolding event, while these soldiers were going right after it. Then some of the cops start jumping over the barricades and helping out. But an amazing number of cops still just standing around watching. The training that the military goes through sure does prepare them.
Wow. There's hope yet.
I bow to your joint wisdom and knowledge. Soldier's Medal sounds great to me...
Per Army Regulation 600-8-22, para 3-13 “The performance must have involved personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life under conditions not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Awards will not be made solely on the basis of having saved a life.”
I would say they went into a dangerous situation. No one knew if there were any other bombs in place. They took action on their own accord.
It would take me a couple days to put the correct verbage in place, but I am certain could get it written up and approved.

Ruben Rosario: Hero amid Boston terror knows ‘the pain caused by war’
http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_23047175/ruben-rosario-hero-amid-boston-terror-knows-pain
he’s had more than his share of pain and misery
That explains the picture of the guys in military uniform pulling the fence down. I was wondering why they were there
Last May, hubby, kid, the dog, and I were involved in a serious car accident. I-91 north, just about Hartford CT, some old woman in a BMW SUV didn’t look when she was changing lanes and the tractor-trailer behind her had to swerve into the left lane where our car was. Pushed our car right off the road, then the SUV hit us head on. Must have been a military unit on the highway at the same time because almost as soon as the car came to a stop, a man in military uniform came running up to our car to check if we were injured.
Made me realize how lucky we are to have people like that in our country!!
