It must be noted that CW5 David Cooper is one of the most decorated soldiers alive and on active duty today. In addition to the just awarded Distinguished Service Cross, Mr. Cooper has also been awarded two Bronze Stars, the Distinguished Flying Cross and a Silver Star. Of the 13 Distinguished Service Crosses that have been awarded since September 11, 2001, David is the only soldier to receive it alive. (http://archive.patriotpost.us/pub/08-31_Brief/page-2.php)

... “I just happened to be the guy there that day,” Cooper said. “Any one of the Night Stalkers that’s in this formation would have done the same thing I did.” ...


A very telling statement by a true American hero.


Thanks for the post.

While the guy is a hero, so are all the guys that supported him each time he went on another run of fighting off the enemy. Let us not lose sight of them.

This is a great story of courage that does credit to everybody involved. You’re right to point this out.

The 160th is AMAZING. This unit possesses none of the qualities of an army line unit... Thats a good thing. The Night Stalkers get it done!

All of these guys come from “army line units”.

They have the benefit of being very specific in their tasks.
No “ash and trash” duties.

Have you spent much time in “army line units”?

This is a great story of the heroism and dedication to duty our service members possess and display on a consistent basis.
