It is uncomfortably rare that we hear of acts of heroism by our or our allies. Usually, if we hear their names, it means that they either been killed or have been accused of something. We need to hear more about the heroes.

He reached down to grab it and "posted" the grenade into a parallel irrigation channel to get it out of his hand as quickly as possible.

My softball team could use a good second baseman like him......The key to completing doubleplays is the quick release.....Of course I don't recommend practicing with a live grenade.
