A true American hero bump, what would we do without such as Sar.

"I tell you, I love this country more than my birthplace," Sar said. "I came from Cambodia and I lost (a lot) of my family there, and nobody here can tell me what it's like, the loss of freedom. ... This country gave me so much, and this is a small price to pay, the long deployments away from home."

A hero to him is the weapons sergeant who was part of his team and was killed in Afghanistan in June. The soldier was a fellow immigrant; his father was from Mexico.

"The hardest thing I ever have to face was facing his mom, and that's what I wear (these medals) for," Sar said.

A true American.
The shining torch of Freedom
IS held high by immigrant hands,
and that is as it should be
for we are more than a country,
we are an ideal.

WOW is right. My deepest appreciation for his bravery.
God Bless this man if that is proper for a Buddhist.
