Now that is a MAN with GUTS.

I hear he was Navy, but any Marine Grunt squad would have him in a heartbeat.

I posted this on the Marine Forum I post on and they said that he was awarded a $10,000 check and a trip to Disney World . He deserves everything they give him. God Bless this Veteran ( Hero ).

He expected or asked nothing ... he did what he had to do

That is what makes a man, woman, a hero ...

I went to Zabasearch.com and found a couple people with his name . They were not him . I left a message on Zaba search hoping to find him so I can knit him and his 2 little girls hats. I have been knitting free hats for Veterans for about a year and a 1/2. He is a Veteran and I hope to find him . I do this because I want Veterans to know I appreciate all they do for our country and for my freedom. If anyone finds him please let me know. Thank you !!! smiley-patriotic-flag-wave

I found out he was on David Letterman so I just e-mailed the show and told them what I wanted to do and if they would let him know.

I saw them interview him on the news the other night and told my wife that he needed a Presidental medal for doing what he did. I did notice that he got some recognition with money and the trip plus some kind of medal. I thought he was a great person and was very brave to do what he did. He told the interviewer that the subway was clipping his hat as he lay on top of the guy that fell.
